SUNDAY HALF MARATHON TRAINING (OUR TARGET GOAL IS DECEMBER 13TH 2009 )

Today we are running 11 miles. The Santa to the Sea Half Marathon is on Sunday 8:00 am December 13th 2009 and is a fundraiser to help raise money and to collect toys for underprivileged children throughout Ventura County. All proceeds will be donated to the fundraiser and toy drive. This event will bring many people from far and wide to the city of Oxnard and will help local children. The race will start at the giant Santa in Nyeland Acres at Santa Park ( pictured top left ) and finish at the Channel Islands Harbor in front of the Marine Emporium Landing on Sunday December 13th, 2009. This event will bring the community closer together while helping those who need it most, the children.
