6th Annual Cinco de Mayo Trail Run

The Valley Elementary Educational Foundationis back with their annual trail run to raise money for Valley Elementary School.

The challenging and unique courses will take you out on the Lake Poway Trail through the foothills around the lake near Blue Sky Ecological Reserve.

The 5K is designed to let you pick your pace. Enjoy it as an elite trail runner, as a challenging family run or simply a gorgeous morning nature hike.

The 10K adds to this course a grueling out-and-back into Blue Sky and a quad-burning climb to the Ramona Dam.

There is also a kids race, the Kathy Young Memorial Kids Race that will kick off with a warm-up 15 minutes before the race starts and is perfect for kids 7 and under who aren't ready to tackle the 5K and the mini-runners who want the fun without the competition! The trail is about 1/3 of a mile long. Parents can chaperon their kids in this fun run.
