The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation has announced that Dodger pitcher Kenley Jansen will be featured on its second limited-edition LADF run bobblehead, given to all runners in the Sixth Annual Biofreeze Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation Run presented by UCLA Health on Sunday, Sept. 29 at Dodger Stadium.

LADF also released its newest Dodgers ‘19 medal design and runner tech t-shirt for all participants. The race weekend held at Dodger Stadium is expected to draw over 30,000 people between the 5K, 10K, Kids Fun Run, and its Health + Wellness Expo starting Saturday, September 28th.

“This popular annual event has grown to be one of the most highly attended runs in Southern California, bringing thousands of Dodger fans and LADF friends to support us and our mission. We are proud to have evolved into a full Health + Wellness weekend at Dodger Stadium,” said Nichol Whiteman, LADF CEO. “Our runners look forward to each year’s medal, shirt, and now our special edition run bobbleheads! We are thrilled to add Kenley Jansen to the collection.”

Biofreeze has returned as the run’s Title Sponsor and UCLA Health has joined as the Presenting Sponsor. Melissa’s Produce is the run’s fruit provider and Dasani will serve as the official water sponsor.

LADF will also host over 3,600 youth for the 5K from Students Run LA (SRLA), a local nonprofit that provides a free youth mentoring and marathon-training program throughout Greater Los Angeles. The run serves as the kick-off to their Los Angeles marathon training season.

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation’s programs and grantmaking to local nonprofit organizations.
