Description

Did you know that on average an NBA player runs a total of 5 miles during a game?  And teams can play over 50 games before the All-Star break.  That is running over 250 miles! Well if you want a faster way to get to the NBA All-Star Game all you have to do is run 3.1 miles, faster than anyone else in LA!

 

Join us on Saturday, February 19th at 8:30 AM at the Staple Center as NBA FIT presents the inaugural NBA All-Star FIT Run, Walk & Dribble where our top male and female finishers will each receive two tickets to the 2011 NBA All-Star Game! 

 

But don't worry, the day is more about being NBA FIT than just who is the fastest man and woman in LA.  There will be music, refreshments, mascots, players, sponsor, interactive games and more!
