A busy weekend - Saturday, November 5 - Two competing 5Ks and a Pine Rockland clean up

Alex and I are looking forward to once again Running 2 5K races in a single day  - and a Pine Rockland Clean up at Coral Reef Park - read all events listed below

CANCERFREE KIDS REASON TO RUN 5K
 
This Saturday (Nov 5) is the Cancerfree Kids Reason To Run which has traditionally been held the first Saturday after Halloween. Alex & I are fortunate to have been involved with the very first race and have run it often. You don't have to run it to enjoy the post run events or donate. This race is held at Deering Estate and runs from 8-10:30 with a run and events. See http://www.reasontorun.org/ for more info / to donate.

CORAL REEF PINELANDS CLEAN UP - 9:30 - 12:30 pm

A Pineland cleanup is sandwiched between the two 5Ks.  I will be participating once again held at Coral Reef Park.  I am so pleased at the community effort - The Miami Pine Rocklands Coalition is joining Palmetto Bay in restoring the Pine Rocklands habitat at Coral Reef Park. Thank you Miami Pine Rockland Coalition and to our local Students who are participating.  Everyone is welcome to join.

Are you a student and in need of community service hours or just looking to volunteer in helping us restore a Pine Rockland Preserve area? This clean-up includes removal of debris, loose clippings and removal of any invasive species of plants inside the park’s Pine Rockland Preserve area.
