With all the marathons and fitness expos we travel long distances to throughout the year, it sure is nice to be able to load up the PureFit truck and drive across town for an event. If you live in Southern California and are interested in meeting Team PureFit in person, stop by the OC Fair and Event Center this Friday and Saturday (May 1 & 2) between Noon and 6:00 p.m. You’ll find us right alongside packet pick-up for the 2009 OC Marathon, which last year attracted 10,000 race day participants.

The neat thing about the OC Marathon-aside from the obvious (OC runners and seaside views)-is that last year’s event attracted 1,400 students from Orange County schools who got to participate in their first marathon event through the Kids Run The OC Training Program. Another thing we like about this event, aside from its proximity to our office, is that after it was all said done, last year’s race helped contribute to the nearly $2,000,000 raised by and for local charities through the event since 2004.

For more information, visit the 2009 Avia OC Marathon website, and be sure to say hello if come through packet pick-up and the Health, Fitness & Nutrition Expo.
