Upcoming Race and Fun Event for Everyone

5:30am and 6:30pm classes meet at Burbank High School.
There is no longer an 8:30am class on Tuesdays or Thursdays.
There is a 3:30pm class Monday-Friday that meets at Brace Canyon Park EXCEPT Tuesdays (today). On that day, we meet at the corner of Avon St and Chandler Blvd North on the bike/running path.


Come race a 5K with us! We will be running downtown Los Angeles, near the Staples Center for the LA Kings 5K next Saturday, February 13, 2010. When you register (while available), you'll get a free "el cheapo" seat to come see the LA Kings that evening at 7:30.

Even if you can't make the race, come join us for a fun evening out!
