Family Fun
Thousands of Southern California children and their families participated in the inaugural "Lefty’s Family Fun Day and 5K," a FREE family day and expo with a focus on promoting healthy lifestyles by encouraging physical activity and healthy food choices.
The event was highlighted by a fun, non-competitive 5K run, walk, skate or ride around the 2.36 mile, 21-turn road course that is set-up for the Suzuki AMA Pro SuperBike Challenge this weekend.
After the 5K, participants wearing their 5K bib were admitted FREE to the Suzuki AMA Pro SuperBike Challenge.
In addition to the 5K, families enjoyed fun-filled activities at the Healthy Communities Expo that included a climbing wall, Nutrition Network, a farmer’s market, sports activities and a variety of state, county and local agencies providing information, displays, interactive exhibits and services to help fight childhood obesity.
"Lefty’s Family Fun Day and 5K" is endorsed by Healthy Communities, an initiative supported by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors through the Department of Public Health.
In addition to a full weekend of on-track action of the Suzuki AMA Pro SuperBike Challenge, fans can also enjoy all the off-track activities:
