Healthy Hawthorne

The 10^th Annual Healthy Hawthorne 5K event took place on Saturday, May 12, 2012. This was a well-​planned event! From the registration to the post-​race expo everything ran smoothly and on time. My daughter and I decided to run this 5k since it benefited kids. The location was easy to find and parking was a breeze.
The start and finish was located at one end of Hawthorne Park and a portion of the course ran next to the Hawthorne airport with great views of helicopters and private jets. There were water stations at every mile, large mile markers and enthusiastic volunteers calling out the times at each mile.
The post-​race expo was cool. Local health related businesses handed out a lot of free and practical stuff. We were also entertained by International Fitness Presenter Kelly Breaux. Kelly entertained the crowd with amazing hula hoop skills and motivated and inspired the crowd to live healthy lives. Her enthusiasm was addicting. She was the perfect mc for the event.
All in all it was a great time for the whole family! I look forward to next year.
