This past weekend folks in Oxnard, California, spent their Sunday running from a giant Santa! The Santa To The Sea Half Marathon, Relay and 5k once again proved Oxnard to be a great place to be in the month of December. Beautiful weather was the perfect accent to an awesome event. Runners came from far and wide to run from the huge Santa Claus on Ventura Boulevard, through Oxnard's strawberry fields en route to the Pacific Ocean and an awesome finish expo (with plenty of Fluid on hand of course!). Fluid was honored to support this event. Mike Barber and the whole Santa To The Sea crew put on another amazing race this year, raising support for not one but two local charities! All runners were asked to bring a new toy to the race to help brighten the holidays for underprivileged kids in Ventura County. And on top of that, proceeds from every entry go to the Santa To The Sea Scholarship Fund set up by Mr. Barbe
r and his crew. Because of this fund which began in 2009, the race has been able to provide scholarships for six students to Oxnard College for the 2010 fall semester! Fluid is also incredibly proud to partner with Tri Running! Owners Josh Spiker and Brian Smallwood are great guys (and awesome athletes!) who are working tirelessly to bring you the best service through their new triathlon and running store. Based now in Camarillo, California, and these guys were out in force at Santa To The Sea, supporting a great cause, making friends and serving up always needed Fluid! If you're in the Camarillo area after the first of the year, check out this brand new store and say hi to Josh and Brian for us.
