Runners and walkers are invited to participate in either a 5K walk and fun run or a one-mile walk on Sunday, Sept. 26. The walk is sponsored by Sharp Health Plan, Natural Balance Pet Foods, AMN Healthcare and KUSI News. The San Diego Girl Scouts and the Ambassadors Foundation Everyday Heroes program will benefit from the event. The Everyday Heroes Program was created in 2007 to help officers of the San Diego Police Department become homeowners through financial assistance and first-time homebuyer education. Since the program’s inception, the San Diego Association of Realtors Ambassadors Foundation has helped 12 officers purchase homes, which supporters said has created safer neighborhoods in the communities officers protect and serve. Free Girl Scout cookies will be available at the race and Sharp will provide a health expo. Sharp staff will be on hand to encourage San Diegans to make positive, healthy and balanced choices in their everyday lives. The San Diego Derby Dolls and the San Diego State University women’s basketball team will participate in the run/walk alongside the Girl Scout Color Guard. The race will take place along De Anza Cove in Mission Bay Park. The top-three finishers from each division will receive one box of each flavor of Girl Scout cookies. The race will begin at 8 a.m. and the one-mile walk will start at 8:30 a.m. To register for the event visit www.walkforcops.com or www.sdgirlscouts.org/5k. Entry fees range from $15 to $30.
