This is FREE to participate- register here:
http://fitnesschallengefoundation.org/

ALL 5K PARTICIPANTS WILL START AND FINISH AT CALIFORNIA SPEEDWAY: Experience the feeling of coming out of the tunnel and onto the NASCAR track!

Date: Saturday, April 19, 2008

6:00 AM - Registration Opens.
6:15 AM - Get Healthy California Expo Opens.
7:30 AM - 5K Program Begins with Special Guests.
7:45 AM - 5K Start
12:00 PM - Event Concludes.

A 5K is 3.2 miles- last year it was lots of fun, great pictures, but a pretty long run with kids- many people were on bikes, scooter, rollerblades, and using strollers. Bring water and plan accordingly!

Schools can earn money by number of participants- be sure to register online (it's FREE!) and then check in that morning. Even if you don't run, check in so your school gets credit for you being there. The Healthy California Expo is going on all morning and had some fun booths and freebies (I got my pedometer there!).
