Mayor Newsom’s 4th Annual Stadium to Stadium 10K Challenge
Tweet
As you take off your shirt at the lake or pool this Memorial Day weekend and realize you are behind in your “getting into summer shape” plan, think about making a goal for the next race you want to run. May I suggest considering running the 4th Annual Stadium to Stadium 10K Challenge – AT&T Park to Candlestick Park? Thanks. Join Dean Karnazes on June 20th to support Mayor Newsom’s race running from AT&T Park to Candlestick Park in San Francisco. You get two stadiums for the price of one! This race’s net proceeds benefits Communities of Opportunity which is an initiative to improve the quality of life in public housing developments in the Southeast sector of San Francisco. What a great way to improve the community you live in by running.
If you’ve run the Stadium to Stadium 10K Challenge before then you already know this is a fun event on a great race course; however, just like us as runners, this race is constantly improving. For instance, there will be 5 additional aid stations at the start, Justin Case. Also, additional buses are slated for transportation to start line from Candlestick park. I know, you would rather run to the start line and turn around and run the race, but in case you get tired there will be a seat empty and ready for you on the bus. Stadium to Stadium has also taken a green initiative this year to reduce the impact on the environment using biodegradable cups, plates, sporks (the name of my first garage band), and race bags. This not enough to entice you to run the Stadium to Stadium 10k Challenge again? How about $5 off fee to last year’s participants? I thought that would motivate a bit. Want more motivation to train hard and run your best? How about mad prize money? Cash awards of $100, $75, and $50 dollars will be given to the top 3 Male and Females in each age group starting at 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60 years and older.
Leverage your entry fee and take full advantage of the Health and Fitness Fair where they will have great entertainment for the kids and free services for you from local vendors. You can go to Stanford Eye Laser Center who will provide LASIK and read the prescription on the glasses you bring. Maybe you want to check out Chiro – Health so they can check you out; with spinal screenings, leg length check-stand, and provide ice packs. Or just lay down and relax and get a massage and health survey from Darrow Chiropractic. There will also be free food provided by Cafe Coo such as pasta salad, bagels with peanut butter, fresh fruit, PopChips, Agua Fresca, Nutrition Bars, and Joint Juice. All the energy you need before the big race! Bring the kids along to enjoy the pony rides, bouncy house, 100 yard dash on the 49ers’ home field, dunk Dwayne Jones, and climbing wall while you sit back and relax while listening to the music of Lolita Sweet. Sounds pretty Sweet to me.
Register now, plan to have a great time, and make this race your reason to start back running for the summer! You’re back baby!
