March Newsflash from A Change of Pace

Spring is nearly here..and with it so is great running/walking weather and a variety of upcoming events. If you haven't already, it's time to pull out your running shoes and head outdoors!

This Weekend ...

Join us this Sunday, March 13th for a 5K Run/walk and Kid's 1/2 Mile Fun Run happening in the heart of Downtown Sacramento. On Sunday morning, we'll be at the 2005 Run/Walk to Build a Drug-Free Community. Starting at 9:00 a.m., this event features a 5K (3.1 mile) run or walk that starts and finishes at the beautiful West Steps of the State Capitol Building. This event is presented by Project Help, a county-wide anti-drug coalition, that provides funding to drug and alcohol treatment, education and recovery programs. 100% of the funds raised at this Sunday's event will be donated back to local organizations. It's an important event - we all have been touched somehow in our lives by drug and alcohol abuse. Come out and support this cause by participating in the event. All participants will receive a race t-shirt and finisher's gift. You can still register online via www.changeofpace.com <http://www.changeofpace.com> through Noon on Friday. Race day registration is also available starting at 7:00 a.m. Read more at:http://changeofpace.com/2005_walk_for_drug_free_commun.html,

Just around the corner:

The 24th Annual Donner Lake Triathlon, a historic favorite, will take place on July 16&17th. Registration is now open for this beachfront duo. The event offers an International (1.5K-40K-10K) and sprint distance (400 yd-6 mi.-2 mi) race. Either race you choose, the scenery and challenge are definitely worthy of a postcard home. This year, we have added a relay division for the sprint race. So grab a few friends and come join the fun!

Speaking of triathlons, if you have a child ages 4-17, you won't want to miss the 4th Annual Davis Kids Triathlon happening at UC Davis on Sunday, August 14th. This first-class event held the honor of being the largest kids-only triathlon in California in 2004 with 600 competitors. In an effort to hold the largest kids triathlon in the Country, we've expanded the field limit to 1200 kids. Registration is now available and we strongly encourage all interested families to register by June. We expect to reach the field limit well in advance of August 14th.

Batter Up! Most Little League seasons are nearly in full swing, and so are our plans for the 4th Annual Davis Youth Baseball Camp. We are proud to announce that this year's camp will take place on June 27 to July 1st (Monday through Friday), 2005. The camp is open to any boy or girl, ages 5-12, regardless of past baseball experience. Space is limited and the camp sells out every year, so early registration is encouraged. Registration for this year's camp will open next Tuesday on March 15th. View changeofpace.com for more info.

Whether your passion is running, walking, cycling, swimming or any other sport, we look forward to including you in an A Change of Pace event in 2005. And, as always, we welcome any suggestions. Please feel free to e-mail us at info@changeofpace.com.
