The first Los Vaqueros Wildflower Run was won by Oakley's Jason Jones (left), who finished the 10K in 42.18.

There were 70 runners entered in the race, though most of the wildflowers had left Los Vaqueros weeks before the race began.

The women's winner, Molly Welker of Brentwood, rode her bike to Los Vaqueros more than 16 miles before the race began.
