The 24th annual AIDS Walk, Run &
Street Challenge San Diego has added the Street Challenge 5K obstacle course as
a new element for this year’s event, scheduled for September 29 in Balboa Park.
The obstacle course will be located
at the park’s Marston Point and will feature obstacles intended to test
participants’ strength, endurance, agility, and quick thinking.
The run will have three stages that
will begin at 9:00 a.m., 9:30 a.m., and 10:00 a.m., respectively. Event
planners also are encouraging participants to wear costumes, which obstacle
course judges will rate. Judges will select one individual and one team to
receive the “Best Dressed” trophy.
The fundraiser, a program of the San
Diego LGBT Community Center, is San Diego’s largest one-day HIV/AIDS fundraiser
and raised approximately $400,000 for 10 local agencies last year.
The Friends of AIDS Foundation is
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and
empowering people to make healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV
virus.
