Volunteering at the LA River Run

On 5 de mayo, Gritty City Track Club members volunteered at the LA River Fun Run.  About a dozen members passed out water to runners at mile one. The run was benefitting "Friends of the LA River", a non-profit organization founded in 1986 to protect the river.  Several members came as early at 5am to set up the water station.
Gritty City members served as enthusiastic cheerleaders. As runners, every volunteer knew how important it was to keep fellow runners motivated.
 Stacking water cups on top of one another was sort of like playing Jenga.  Fun!
