Run, walk, stroll or roll…but don’t miss Easter Seals Southern California’s Walk With Me! This family-friendly event – which includes a 2k walk and a timed 5k run – supporting local children and adults living with autism and other disabilities steps off Saturday, November 2nd at Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. Registration starts at 7 a.m. and the program begins at 8:30 a.m.
All registered walkers will enjoy free refreshments, music and entertainment for the whole family. Kids of all ages will enjoy The Aquarium on Wheels mobile tide pool exhibit where you can feel a spiny sea star, touch a slippery sea cucumber, and experience the rough texture skin of a shark.
