2008 Home Front Run

Home Front 2008

By Alex Baires

Mountain Hardwear and Montrail are teaming up with the Hilltop Family YMCA of Richmond once again for the second annual Home Front Festival 10k and 5k fun run/walk. The fun run/walk will be held on Sunday, October 5, 2008, along the beautiful San Francisco Bay Trail. Lucky returns as event sponsor and REI joins with additional support this year.

San Francisco Bay Area runners and walkers are invited to come out and join fellow runners/walkers. The run benefits the Hilltop Family YMCA, a great organization that serves the Richmond community with a wide range of health and wellness related activities. Please come join us for a day of fun that will start with the 5k or 10k run or walk and get a free Mountain Hardwear shirt as well as free entry into the Home Front Festival. To top it all off, category winners compete for some great prizes and everyone has a chance to win - we will be raffling out various prizes.

We are also looking for volunteers for the event, so if you want to participate but running/walking is not for you, please email Hardwear Sessions -- blog (at) mountainhardwear.com.
