Finally! A Race In Milpitas! September 30th The Great Sugar Dump 5k!
In conjunction with Generations Community Wellness we are finally bringing a 5k race to Milpitas! The Great Sugar Dump 5k is on Sunday, September 30th, 2012. Location will be the Cisco campus at 115 North McCarthy Blvd in Milpitas at the intersection of Highway 237 and 880. The course will be run on the Coyote Creek Trail. If you have ever run on this trail you know it is flat and fast. We are turning this popular jogging trail into a blazing fast 5k course. Perfect for setting that 5k PR!
As an awareness campaign, Generations Community Wellness will be educating the community about the link between sugar consumption and obesity with a variety of family oriented activities highlighting the health benefits of physical activity and fruit, vegetables, and water. You can take part by bringing in unwanted cans or bottles of sugary soda or packaged sugary snacks to dump in the Generations Junk Food Trade-in; a community wide effort to stop the spread of obesity. In exchange, Generations will supply Great Sugar Dump 5k water bottles for all participating runners and their families.

Start line -
We ask that you self seed at the start line, meaning that faster people start in the front and slower runners/ walkers start in the back of the pack. There will be signs at the start with approximate pace times, please start in the area with your expected pace time.
Jogging strollers -
Though we love your children, we advise some caution when considering use of jogging strollers on this course as the trail will be in use in both directions and is not very wide in all spots. If you decide to bring your child along in a jogging stroller, you will be asked to start in the back of the starting pack, regardless of your running pace in order to insure the safety of other runners.
Water/Aid Stations -
There will be one water/Gatoraid aid station at about 1 mile. Of course, you will hit this again after the turn around so you will see it again at around the 2 mile mark. You may bring your own water bottles, or use the paper cups provided. There will be portable restrooms at the start/finish area. In order to make this a green and enjoyable event for all, please dispose of any gel wrappers, bottles, or any other garbage you may want to shed yourself of during the race at any of the aid stations throughout to race. Keep in mind, volunteers will need to collect any trash left on the course, please dispose of your items as close to the aid stations as possible.

Organizer
BigWaveDave Productions
BigWaveDave Productions is focused on the following principals:
1. Create Events That ANYONE Can be Part Of:
- Endurance does not mean that you have to be an elite marathon runner or world class cyclist. In today’s world, anyone can be an athlete, if they choose to be. BigWaveDave Productions carefully plans those events that will allow participation from the first timers to the most experienced athletes around.
2. Create A Total Experience For All Participants:
- Participants are our Customers, and in our business, the CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS FIRST. When people enter an athletic event, regardless of the level, they are expecting to be treated with respect and courtesy from start to finish. BigWaveDave Productions holds itself to a high standard when it comes to our customer.
3. Create Events That Promotes Cities, Sponsors and Charities:
- BigWaveDave Productions is very focused on promotion, and that means working closely with everyone involved. We believe in showcasing the communities that host our events through constant communication and idea sharing.
- Sponsors are critical to the success of many of our events, and again, the key is a strong communication process. Sponsors want to know that their dollar is going towards a worthwhile cause, and BigWaveDave Productions is focused on ensuring that.
- We believe that all of our events should be associated with local, regional or national charities. We feel that we have an obligation to make our events opportunities for the less fortunate, whenever possible. Supporting charity partners is our way of doing just that.
