  1. Seemed like there were 5,000 people downtown tonight at this 5K Run/Walk. Watched the first runner come in about 10 minutes after the start, then spent some time with a former student of my husband’s who ran this race as well. She did the cross country run last summer to race $ to fight cancer. What a great event, my first time to witness this huge fitness event. Congrats Randy Acetta on another great race.

  2. Over 3,000 people signed up for this cool evening event in the hot summer of Tucson. Check it out starting at the Children’s Museum Tucson/Armory Park area on 6th Avenue.
