No Wonder Everybody Drives in California!
As a runner, I always make it a point to know a “new place” on foot. But as I got to know a piece of California better, I soon realized why everybody drives in here.

Extraordinary Cavinti
A few weeks ago, this little known place in Laguna called Cavinti held its first organized trail race. Until this race, I’ve never heard of this place.

Top Five Dream Destination Races
I consider myself a “recreational runner” in the sense that I incorporate running into my lifestyle because aside from its health benefits, it’s fun!
