Strap on the trainers this 4th of July
By: Serena Scott Thomas
Now here’s a great recipe for a perfect holiday! Every July 4, the Calabasas Park Homeowner’s Association and City of Calabasas holds the Lakeside Fun Run around the beautiful Calabasas lake. There are 4, 2 and 1/2 mile runs and walks with multiple age groups and a wonderful pancake breakfast. It’s a great way to start the day, get some exercise and make a preemptive strike at the inevitable calorific overload of the day’s festivities. The kids can let off some steam in a safe and friendly environment and you don’t have to make breakfast for the family! It’s also a lovely informal way to meet neighbors and make friends with other active people in the area. The 4 mile and 2 mile runs and walks wind around the lake, which is absolutely beautiful and not normally open to the public and it’s pretty flat, so its perfect for the beginner runner or someone new to racing. No need to worry if your not ‘a runner’- it’s open to anyone who’s up for some fun! You can either register early by downloading the form or contacting Dan Huncke at 818.222.2782 or just show up and register there! Starts at 7.45 am. Have a wonderful July 4!
