C'mon, Homer, a Home Depot run for fun ... and kickball

Usually, we'd be among the first to run away from a soccer game. Sunday, we may run into one.

The first Home Depot Center 5K/10K run on the 125-acre facility on the Cal State Dominguez Hills campus starts at 8 a.m. to benefit the facility's charitable foundation with a $35 online registration fee.

With that payment, you get two tickets to the June 28 Galaxy-Houston MLS game and that day's Sol-FC Gold Pride women's pro soccer game at 3 p.m.. Register in person, and it's $45.

The event starts and ends at the 10,000-seat track and field stadium and goes through the 27,000-seat soccer stadium, the 8,000-seat tennis stadium as well as on some dirt trails along Avalon Blvd. and Victoria Street in Carson.

Registration is online through 3 p.m. today (www.homedepotcenter.com/run) or by calling 877.234.8425.
