Review: Run for Life

What: Run for Life 
Where: Lacamas Lake
When: June 6, 2015
Distance: 1.2 miles

The location of this walk (love the lake) and that I could get there without getting up at 5 a.m (as I live fairly close) totally lured me into signing up for the 2015 Run for Life.
This event consisted of a 1.2 mile walk, as well as a 5K run and 10k run. Knowing how hilly the area is around the lake, I decided to go with the short distance this time. 
And a wise move that proved to be as I found myself really taking my time, going up the hills (and down them) and really just enjoying the views of the lake the trail presented.

I mean, you just can't go wrong with views like this. :) 
This event benefitted Pathways, a local non-profit pregnancy resource center. Folks could get sponsors to make donations to Pathways. They could also just pay to register and take part. 

What we got: 
Registration costs included Run for Life Swag bag (a drawstring nap sack with a "Pathways" bracelet, a Jamba Juice bell that could be turned into Jamba Juice for a free smoothie, some coupons for local businesses and information about Pathways), as well as an event T-shirt.

Everyone who took part also received a wooden finisher's medal on race day.

Final thoughts:
It's always fun to take part in a race that supports local folks. If you are local to Lacamas Lake, I'd totally recommend taking part in this one. While I did the short distance this year, I might consider a longer distance if I did it again. Although I sure loved being able to take my time and enjoy the view.
