| Published October 15th, 2008 | Calling All Runners and Joggers | By Cathy Tyson | | | Following up on the success of the Art and Wine Festival, the Chamber of Commerce is hosting the sixteenth annual Lafayette Reservoir Run on October 26. Runners, joggers, walkers, strollers and dogs are welcome at this family affair.
Mark your calendar for the last Sunday in October for this very popular event - last year over 2,500 participated in the 10K, 5K and 2 mile race through the heart of downtown, around the reservoir and back.
Staggered times will be used to accommodate varying levels of speed, the 5K will start at 8:30 for runners only, the 10K will start at 8:45 and the 2 mile fun run commences at 9:00. Dogs and baby strollers are only allowed on the latter two events.
The Lafayette Rotary Club will be providing a pancake breakfast, for those wishing to fill up either before or after the event. Stanley Middle School students will provide music, and parking is available at any of the BART parking lots.
Pre-registration can be done by visiting the Chamber of Commerce website, www.lafayettechamber.org or www.active.org or in person at the Chamber office, the Lafayette Health Club and Oakwood Athletic. Last minute athletes can sign up for a few dollars more on race day. Proceeds will benefit local schools and the services and programs of the Chamber.
