The Great Race of Agoura
Originally planned as a fund raiser for local schools, the Great Race of Agoura has grown into a one of the most popular running events in Los Angeles, and continues to raise money for 8 local Oak Park and Agoura schools. The event will take place rain or shine on Saturday, March 27th. There’s a 10K, 5K, 1 Mile, and Family Fun Run. Check in at Chumash Park starting at 6 am. You can pre-register at www.greatraceofacoura.com. No paper registration is offered (it’s all online and easy as tying your shoes), as the event went “green” this year and no trees were harmed in the planning and running of this race. Less waste in the landfill, more oxygen in the air, probably faster running times too due to all that freshness!
So what do I think about this event? It’s fantastic! With 2 school age children (Sumac to AE Wright to Agoura High School), my wife and I are big supporters of public schools, and we participate in this and other school and fund raising “activities.” We’ve bought wrapping by the mile, and magazines by the truckload. But the Great Race is a really fun event. We’ve done it with our kids (in the Fun Run) and also on our own in the 5K. I don’t think I could make it the whole 10K! You get a cool t-shirt and goody bag, and there’s lots to do after the race, what with all the vendors and booths there. We live in Fountainwood, and the race route comes right by our house, where we’ve passed out water to the racers!
So even if you’re not a world class runner, I recommend you give this one a shot. It’s easy and fun!
