ZEST FOR LIFE
5K RUN/WALK & KIDS FUN
RUN 1 MILE
A perfect way to kick off the day at the Third Annual Citrus
Classic Balloon Festival!
Get active with this scenic cross-country 5K winding through
citrus groves, past rolling hills and red barns. The route
is a fast country road, mostly packed dirt and flat, with some
asphalt, loose gravel and 2 slight inclines. Prizes for 5 runner
categories are offered. And every participant in the Kids Fun
Run wins a prize!
Start and Finish Lines are within view of the festival grounds,
and the race will be announced from the Citrus Classic PA
system. Registered runners are invited into the festival
prior to the Zest For Life Run, to mingle with pilots, and
enjoy the hot air balloons and breakfast items from food
vendors. Post-run, refreshments and live music are also available
at no charge in the Pilots’ Breakfast Tailgate 8:30-10:30
a.m. Proceeds benefit Santa Paula Hospital and our local
Santa Paula High School Track Team. See below flier for additional
details – and come share your Zest For Life!
