🏞️ Course

Definitely flat and fast on the paved running path with views of the beach and the sounds of the surf crashing. Great atmosphere.

PLEASE NOTE: The course IS open to the public and will be shared with CYCLISTS and other runners and dog walkers.

You choose your course tactics. Race… Jog… Stroll… or Roll. Families can bring strollers but agree to use them at their own risk. Water at the 1 mile/2 mile and turnarounds for the 10K.

❤️ The Cause

Caren Ware Events are the something for EVERYBODY and EVERY BODY races. Our desire is to host enriching fun, healthy, outdoor options for your lives and, in turn, gift life-enhancing opportunities to others. Activity helps health. It heals. It makes life interesting. This is your opportunity to literally RUN a ranch. We are asking for additional donations to support MISS PAM’s Ranch: a ranch that has changed countless lives by a woman in a wheelchair. Do something real and really needed. Miss Pam’s ranch needs wheelchair accessibility. We are going to SPECIALLY BUY HER AN accessible restroom trailer for the ranch. We can free up funds for ramps with your donations and help feed the animals on the ranch. Pick a project and fall in love with the great combination of kids and livestock. Caren Ware Events is forming the Ware in the World Foundation, which connects cultures through outdoor activities. Providing hope, happiness, and enhanced life experiences.

Rain or Shine.

BE Active. BE healthy. Saddle up and enjoy!
