Goleta Education Foundation’s Annual Lemon Run is back for its 10th Anniversary Celebration on September 21 at beautiful Lake Los Carneros! Look forward to a day of fun, fitness, and community spirit.
With competitive 10K Grand Prix (8:00 a.m.) and 5K Jr. Grand Prix (9:30 a.m.) races, and 1K Family Fun Run (10:30 a.m.), there is something for everyone. It’s a perfect event for competitive runners and first-timers alike. There are great prizes and goodies from local businesses, fabulous food, and fun family-friendly activities. Come join the Goleta Education Foundation and support our schools, families, and community in the Good Land.
Participants will begin as a rolling start for each event. This course will wind the 5K and 10K runners through the many trails and picturesque scenery around Lake Los Carneros, while the 1K will take place in front of the historic Stow House. Strollers are allowed for the 1K Family Fun Run and families are welcome to run together.
