Travis Barker continues to prove that he’s not just a rockstar behind the drums—he’s also a formidable runner! Over the weekend, the Blink-182 drummer laced up his sneakers and hit the pavement for the Big 5 Sporting Goods Los Angeles 5K at Dodger Stadium. Barker clocked in an impressive 22 minutes and 31 seconds, averaging 7:15 per mile and securing a strong 95th place out of over 8,000 runners.
Embracing Distance Running and Fitness
Barker’s dedication to fitness has been clear over the past year, especially since launching his “Run Travis Run” initiative. The event, which encourages physical wellness and community, is an important part of his fitness journey. The LA 5K was just one of the many ways Travis has embraced running as a way to challenge himself and stay in top shape.
Travis and Kourtney Kardashian’s Wellness Partnership
Travis wasn’t alone in his fitness journey. His wife, Kourtney Kardashian, joined him at the “Run Travis Run” wellness event in Los Angeles last July. Together, the couple worked up a sweat alongside other participants, supporting each other’s fitness goals and promoting health as part of their shared wellness routine.
A Great Start to the LA Marathon Weekend
