Parents and kids turn out for Are You In RUN for Education benefitting Menlo Park schools

by Linda Hubbard on May 31, 2015

Just shy of 1,400 kids and adults, including a few elite runners, participated in the Are You In RUN for Education organized by the Menlo Park–Atherton Education Foundation, as well as the PTO’s of Menlo Park City School District: Encinal, Hillview, Laurel and Oak Knoll schools.

The run was followed by a Wellness Fair on the grounds of Oak Knoll School where there was food, games and awards. Kevin Chaves of Menlo Park was the overall male winner in a time of 16:48.5 minutes. The overall women winner was Michelle Tom of Los Altos in a time of 20:40.4.

And yes, doesn’t every race have a gorilla handing out bananas?

Evan Nelson (of Nelson Roberts Investment Advisors, the event’s premier sponsor) sent along a video that the firm made showing highlights of the day.
