On Sunday, May 22, you and your family and friends can choose to run or walk along the picturesque trails at the Joseph D. Grant County Park, in San Jose, before enjoying an exciting family style carnival, at Bay Area’s Vibha’s 2011 Dream Mile.

 All participants will receive a commemorative T-shirt, beverages, and enjoy after-race food, refreshments, and entry into a fun-filled carnival, featuring live music, games, dance Mehndi, face painting, great food, message, henna, and more.  Awards will be given three-deep to the finishers in each male and female age category in 10-year increments.  Special awards will go to the overall male and female finishers.   Race timing and results will be provided by On Your Mark Events.
