La Palma’s Fitness Run for Fun celebrated its 30th year of running where participants have completed 186,000 miles, used 180,000 cups and 1,500 gallons of water, community members have contributed and volunteered 15,000 hours, and 2,500 awards have been earned.
Competitive races included a 5K Run/5K Walk (3.1 miles) and a 10K Run (6.2 miles). The overall first place male and female competitors in each race received a $100 Cash Card Award, and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place Commemorative Awards were presented in all competitive divisions for both men and women.
As promised, La Palma Kiwanis offered its traditional all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast for a small donation for all of the participants and supporters of the event.
