Time Out says

Participate in a 5K or 10K run or walk, a 2K dog walk, a kiddie run or a 20- or 50-mile bike ride that will take you along the L.A. River and through Griffith Park during this weekend-long Lunar New Year tradition in the heart of historic Chinatown (rescheduled from February). All courses start and end at Chinatown Central Plaza, which will host a concurrent, free family-friendly festival with a beer garden and live entertainment, if you want to celebrate without breaking a sweat. Don’t miss the weekend opening ceremony, with lion dancers and the traditional lighting of 100,000 firecrackers. Check the website for a detailed schedule of events.
