FitView: More Bang for your Racing Buck
By Efren Martinez
As Spring has now sprung, foot races are now in an abundance. That’s great if you can afford to run every weekend. For myself, I learned early on, in my racing career that it isn’t always affordable to sign up for every race. Yes, some races are better than others and even more so the importance of the charitable cause where the money is going. Let’s face it, not everyone out there is looking to be part of a charitable race to help cats learn to be a Disc Jockey. This is why I not only pick and choose the charitable/cause/races closest to my heart but also which ones give me the most bang for my racing buck.
Friends if you’re only planning on running in just one of the many great races in May, I recommend The Modesto Memorial Classic. This RUN features a 1-mile or 5-K race on a certified flat paved shady course along the Tuolumne River. Run or walk it, the choice is yours. It also has one of the best FREE kids fun runs. All kid fun run finishers will receive a medal.
Wow! If that wasn’t enough all who registered for the race will be treated to a pancake breakfast as part of the registration fee for runners and walkers. Prize money is available to the top 3 men/women finishers and 1st master’s (over 40) finishers in the 5k.
This Event is my personal pick for the month of May since it benefits the Modesto Veterans Center which helps returning combat veterans and their families. Please come join all of us especially our Veteran Hero’s for this great event to help us kick off the Memorial Day weekend right. It takes place in a festival like atmosphere with yours truly, The Quake Mobile DJ, to help get you pumped up! Who knows, I may even bring out my Quake DJ kitty cat for a special guest DJ appearance on the turntables. To learn more about this special race and/or to sign up please visit the link below.
