5K walk/run for wildlife is Saturday

The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center is challenging residents Saturday to walk for wildlife.

The center is hosting its first 5K walk/run on the sand at Huntington State Beach to raise money for the care and rehabilitation of its wildlife charges. The center helps more than 3,450 birds and animals annually.

Registration and check-in is from 8 to 9 a.m., with stretching and warm-ups from 9 to 9:30 a.m. The walk/run lasts from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

Participants will need to pay $15 to park at the state beach, just north of the wetlands jetty near Brookhurst Street.
