The 11th annual 5-kilometer Big Bear Run, open to runners and walkers of all ages, is set for 9 a.m. Sunday, May 7, starting at Menlo-Atherton High School, 555 Middlefield Road in Atherton.

The race traverses the flat Atherton neighborhood of Lindenwood and ends by returning to M-A.

Race proceeds benefit M-A athletic programs. The M-A Athletic Boosters organization estimates it needs $150,000 a year to fund the basic needs of the school’s more than 900 athletes.

Race entry fees are $33 for adults and $23 for students 18 or younger when registering by mail, office drop-box or online. Fees rise to $40 and $25 for registration after May 3, including at the race.

Skates, scooters, bikes, headphones and dogs are not allowed.

Same-day registration begins at 7:30 a.m. at the main gym. Racers can pick up T-shirts and race bibs on Friday, May 5, between 2:30 and 6 p.m., in the gym parking lot off Ringwood Road.
