Five-Year Partnership to Benefit Olympic Silver Medalist Meb Keflezighi’s Foundation and Inspire Next Generation of Runners at the World’s Fastest 5K
The Carlsbad 5000, the internationally renowned road race known as the “World’s Fastest 5K,” announced a new partnership with the MEB Foundation as its official charity partner. This five-year agreement, beginning in 2025, will bring together two organizations dedicated to promoting health, education, and fitness for youth. (Watch a recent interview with Meb here.)
The MEB Foundation, founded by Olympic medalist Meb Keflezighi, is committed to supporting programs and events that promote youth health, education, and fitness. The foundation’s mission aligns perfectly with the Carlsbad 5000’s goal of encouraging a healthy, active lifestyle through running.
“We are thrilled to be named the benefiting charity of the Carlsbad 5000,” said Meb Keflezighi, founder of the MEB Foundation and longtime ambassador of the race. “This event holds a special place in my heart, as I have participated in it many times over the years. It’s a race that truly embodies the spirit of running and community. I am excited for the opportunity to work together to inspire and support the next generation of runners and to promote health and fitness throughout Southern California.”
