The 17th Annual Juana Run through Barron Park is this Saturday. This popular event, initiated and organized by Barron Park resident Karen Saxena, benefits the Terman PTA and Gunn Sports Booster’s. It also benefits any participating school or team that signs up. It is intended as a fund-raiser and a community-building event.
The signature event of the Juana Run is an 8K (about 5 miles) race that begins at 8:30 AM and winds its way through and around the streets of Barron Park, ending at Juana Briones school. You can still sign up and participate. Go to the event web page, www.juanarun.org
Or just come out and line the race route and cheer on your neighbors and friends!
