Say aloha to Pineapple Classic 5K, set for June 9 in Silicon Valley

Bring your island spirit, and get ready for some Hawaiian-themed fun at the second annual Pineapple Classic 5K, a race created to honor the life of a little boy who lost his battle with blood cancer (one of the last family memories was a trip to Hawaii, hence the theme).

A family-friendly take on the new outdoor adventure race trend (but not to the extreme of the Warrior Dash, Spartan Race and Muddy Buddy races), the Pineapple Classic takes place this Saturday, June 9, at 9 a.m. at its new Grant Ranch County Park location in Santa Clara County.

Competitors will cover 3.1 miles in which they must stop every half mile or so to overcome obstacles all while carrying a fresh pineapple. The exact number and type of on-course challenges are kept secret until race day, but previous tasks have included jumping over walls, climbing over bales of hay, crawling through a PVC pipe and more.

The event is open to anyone eight years of age and older, and awards will be given for speed in all categories, as well as Best Aloha Spirit (best costume). All participants will receive a tech shirt and post-event lei, along with entry into the Hawaiian lunch and luau, complete with beer garden and authentic entertainment.

Entry fees are $75 for individuals, $150 for two-person teams and $275 for four-person teams. A fat loss review can help you establish a clear outline of what you demand to focus on to carry out your fat loss purpose if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an intermediate or more enhance phase of their losing weight plan. Applying are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your personal weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss courses have tricked people into believing that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss programs only work by leading to a person's body to lose more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. All participants are also asked to raise a minimum of $50 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to support its cancer research and patient services programs.

Online registration closes June 6; for more information, visit PineappleClassic5k.org or call 408-490-3117.
