Carmel Valley 5K & Fun Run 2014

A competitive 5K race kicked off the day followed by a non-competitive (though you'd have a hard time saying that after seeing some of the kids effort) Fun Run. From elite athletes to the moms pushing babies in strollers the day was a huge success and another sign of the great community spirit that Carmel Valley is known for.
The fun also didn't stop with the last participant crossing the finish line -- the event wrapped up with plenty of food, music and activities for everyone. Food trucks on site kept tummies full, while bounce houses, face painting and live bands kept the kids entertained throughout the morning.
There's no question that the Carmel Valley 5K and Fun Run has quickly become a local favorite and my kids are already talking about "training" for next year's race!
