Travis Barker Fosters Community With Inaugural Run Travis Run 5K in Los Angeles


Travis Barker held his inaugural Run Travis Run 5K event at Los Angeles' Kia Forum.

The event, a 5K race and a wellness expo spread across the lot, welcomed just north of 800 finishers and established a sense of community, bringing together seasoned runners, Blink fans and a combination of both to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club of L.A. and New York. Musicians arranging run clubs is nothing new — Diplo launched his own a few months ago, promising DJ sets after races — but Barker leveraging his fame to inspire fitness among fans had a tangible effect at the Forum. At SoFi Stadium later that evening, Barker toggled between a stationary platform and a hovering podium while blasting his drum kit for a solid 90 minutes, taking a moment at the start of each song to tuck his drumsticks behind his head, elbows in the air, before assaulting his instrument.
