Brazen Racing puts on events that make you want to immediately sign up for another one... and then volunteer for a bunch more. Sunday's Diablo Trail Adventure offered a half marathon, 10k, 5k, and family hike with a portion of all entry fees going to Save Mount Diablo, an organization working to increase and preserve the natural lands around Mount Diablo. From the race director: Because of their efforts, the amount of protected land on and around the mountain has gone from less than 7,000 acres to over 110,000! With over 70,000 acres still at risk of being lost, your support is more valuable than ever! This was definitely one of the reasons I chose to participate in this event. I love that I can run a trail race and, at the same time, contribute to protecting and maintaining that very same land. Arriving at the park I saw, not just a trail race being put on, but a total festival atmosphere. Music was playing and people were milling around booths set up...
