About the EFFETA 5K Fundraiser
The course runs through Miramar Regional Park, which gives you open paths and enough room for a relaxed morning on foot. Live music plays along the route, and a photographer is out there too, so the morning has some energy to it. The race benefits a Catholic young adult retreat, so there is a clear purpose behind the entry fee.
Coffee, matcha, cookies and other food are available at the finish from parish vendors, which makes the post-race stretch worth lingering through. The church community organizes the whole thing, so the start area has the feel of a gathering as much as a race.
