Through­out the morn­ing and early after­noon, all who come are invited to enjoy our ven­dor fair, games, activ­i­ties, food and enter­tain­ment. This event is an expres­sion of Hay­den Child Care Center’s mis­sion by pro­vid­ing fam­i­lies the oppor­tu­nity to take part in a whole­some event together.

5k Par­tic­i­pants: All are wel­come! The Hay­den 5k is a fun, chal­leng­ing event for pro­fes­sional and/or novice run­ners as well as fam­i­lies, teams, and indi­vid­ual walk­ers. The Hay­den 5k is unique because of its broad spec­trum of par­tic­i­pants. This 5k brings peo­ple of all ages and abil­i­ties to run, walk, or roll (wheel­chair or stroller) in this real and com­pet­i­tive timed race.

The 5k pro­motes a healthy lifestyle, sparks com­pe­ti­tion, and builds cama­raderie. We encour­age each run­ner and walker to join us for the 5k to obtain his/her per­sonal best!

Santa Tere­sita Manor, Bethany Res­i­dents and mem­bers of our local com­mu­nity who need wheel­chair assis­tance are invited to form a team (per­son in wheel­chair with two escorts) and enter our 5K. What a blessed day it will be to walk and aid your loved one with his/her wheel­chair. It will be a day of fam­ily fun and celebration.

Teams: Dur­ing reg­is­tra­tion you will be able to cre­ate a team for your child, group, or orga­ni­za­tion. The team with the most par­tic­i­pants by Thurs­day, March 1, 2012 will receive offi­cial t-shirt recognition.

Where: The Race will begin near the cor­ner of Royal Oaks Drive and Buena Vista Street in Duarte. Run­ners will run east toward Royal Oaks Park and loop back to the fin­ish line at Santa Teresita.

Course: As the start­ing horn blows, the run­ners will head east on Royal Oaks Drive, a scenic street lined with lush green­ery and quaint homes, until Royal Oaks North where they will get onto the Duarte Bike Trail and con­tin­u­ing to run east until reach­ing the turn­about and loop back toward the fin­ish line at Santa Tere­sita Cam­pus on the Duarte Recre­ation Trail. This trail is pop­u­lar with run­ners and power walk­ers alike for its acces­si­bil­ity and beauty. It is paved and flanked by the wild flower-covered hills of the San Gabriel Moun­tains to the north. This 1.6 mile Duarte Recre­ational Trail runs mainly through a res­i­den­tial area with horses, trees and plenty of shade. This year we are happy to announce that the race sur­face is com­pletely paved.
