The OC Marathon: Inspire Kids to Fitness – May 1, 2011
Tags: family fun orange county fitness The OC Marathon OC Charities
The countdown has begun, for the 2011 OC Marathon! Unlike other marathons, this annual fitness event crosses through four different cities throughout the Orange County area, giving runners a beautiful glimpse into the awe inspiring sights, peaceful scenes and natural beauty of this Southern California region. This event brings together runners from throughout the world and each year organizers work hard to make the race exciting, fun and interesting for both participants and spectators alike. So don’t miss out on the chance to support the Orange County community by just taking one step at a time.
The OC marathon began in 2004, and has since become one of the most popular destination races in Southern California. It’s an excellent way to promote health, meet new people and support a worthy cause. Since its inception, the Orange County marathon has raised over 2.4 million dollars to support local programs and charities. The money has also helped support the OC Marathon’s own foundation that is committed to promoting better fitness and preventing obesity. This is why the organizers have made an entire weekend of exhibits and fun that lead up to the actual race that takes place on that Sunday.
On the Friday before the OC Marathon, April 29, there will be a Health and Fitness Expo that will be hosted by Nutrilite, a daily multivitamin. Then on Saturday, the real fun begins with “Kids Run the OC” which is a race for younger age groups to participate in as they train their way into the OC Marathon one day. Then on Sunday, the actual Full and Half Marathon will take place bright and early in the morning, starting in the beautiful scenic city of Newport Beach. So get your gear ready because there is still time to register for this exciting event!
