XOXO … Infinity 5K

May 27, 2013 · Pasadena, CA

Distance: 5K

Love running or walking and hate cancer?!? Then this event is for you!

The XOXO … Infinity 5K is a race to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through the fundraising efforts of Lauren Plichta & Team XOXO … Infinity.

You can either participate virtually -OR- if you reside in the Los Angeles area, you can come to our live event. The cost of entry for both options is a $10 minimum donation to LLS, which will help save and better the lives of hundreds of thousands of cancer patients.

VIRTUAL 5K:

XOXO … Infinity Virtual 5K is a race that anyone, anywhere can participate in. All you have to do is donate $10 to LLS via your Virtual 5K Race Entry and then run or walk a 5K (3.1 miles) anytime on Monday, May 27th. Once you register, you will be sent a link to our Facebook page, where you can virtually interact with other runners and walkers from around the world. Before race day, you will also be sent an XOXO … Infinity Bib for you to print out and wear proudly during your 5K. We encourage you to take pictures wearing your race bib or with XOXO written on your arm – we would love to include you in our photo gallery.

  • Bib & timing chip

  • Drawings for prizes such as personal training sessions, yoga classes, accupuncture treatments, running gear, and more!

Lauren is raising funds in memory of her mother, Paula Sukenik, who passed away from leukemia in 2008, and her goal is to raise $100,000 for LLS in just 10 weeks. 100% of your race entry and additional donations will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through Team XOXO
