2022 San Fernando Valley Mile
On Saturday, October 29, 2022, the City of San Fernando, Anthem Blue Cross, and 3 WINS Fitness from the Kinesiology Department at Cal State University, Northridge successfully put on the City's first San Fernando Valley Mile.
Over 600 participants of all ages ran or walked the mile long race. This one-mile challenge began at Eighth Street and Maclay and ended at the finish line located at Third Street and the Dia de Los Muertos Festival. The entertainment was fantastic with music, vendors, face painting, arts & crafts, food, folklorico dancers and the outstanding Mariachi Master Apprentice Program (MMAP) participants.
In addition, participants built lovely altars to honor family members and friends who have passed. Altars, or "ofrendas", are a cultural tradition that provide an opportunity to remember and celebrate the lives of departed loved ones.
