KELSEYVILLE – Running and walking bring sweet rewards other than fitness, and to prove it, the Lake County Milers want you to have a donut.

Reviving one of its traditions, the club will host a Donut Run in Kelseyville on Saturday, April 24, at 8:30 a.m.

The 5K run/walk offers medals for winners in age and gender categories and post-race donuts, juice and coffee to all participants.

The event starts and finishes in Kelseyville’s Pioneer Park (5250 Third St., behind Studebaker’s coffeehouse on Main Street).

The course is a flat, out-and-back jaunt through the town and surrounding vineyards. The $7 early entry fee (“Less than a movie!” enthuses Miler President Jeanine Burnett) affords runners and walkers the perfect opportunity to set a personal record and even win a medal, meet fellow fitness buffs from Lake County and the region and then socialize over coffee, juice and donuts.

The entry fee is $10 on race day; registration starts at 7:45 a.m.

Following the run/walk, a ceremony at 9:30 a.m. will award first-, second- and third-place medals to male and female winners ages 19 and under; first through fifth for male and female winners ages 20 to 59; and first place to male and female winners ages 60 and over.

The event will take place rain or shine.

Having kept up their scheduled Saturday and Sunday jogs, walks and training runs throughout the rainy winter, the Lake County Milers get rolling in the spring race season with this Donut Run before hosting their signature event, the Spring Has Sprung, on May 23, in Hidden Valley Lake.
