"I've done this race every year and its super easy, fun, pretty run. Well organized, cute shirts and you get to help the monkies. Last year the had a man dressed as a monkey giving the runners high fives at the end of the race which was supper cool. "

"I have run this race since it began in 2008 and just love the friendly atomosphere. It's a great event to bring the community together and support the endangered orangutans and help preserve the rainforest. The course is flat and runs through beautiful Balboa Park. It is a very family friendly event. I encourage everyone to come out and participate!! See you there!!"

"The course is flat and fast, in a beautiful setting.
But more important, this is one of my favorite events because it is relaxed and informal and for a good cause. It is more personal, because there aren't 20,000 people at the starting line, you get the sense that (organizer) Sarah and her team of volunteers have an interest in each of the runners. It reminds me of the fun and friendly events I used to race in as a beginning runner in the 1970s.
This was my second year, I brought some new friends this time, and we definitely plan to make it an October tradition.
Thank you for all your hard work.
