The Los Vaqueros Wildflower Run will not be held in 2012.
Due to the expansion of the Los Vaqueros Reservoir, new trails for the race need to be cut into the hillside, and these won't be completed by our traditional first weekend in May race date.
We do expect to hold the 10K race
on the new trails in 2013.
We've enjoyed this unique event, and look forward to seeing our friends again in 2013.
Below is information from the 2010 race. Look here for pictures from the last race.

Thomas Taylor (65) leads the start of the 2010 Wildflower Run on his way to a repeat win and new course record. Women's winner and course record setter Kim Ferrari (17) is also starting strong at the start.

Beautiful weather and lots of stunning flowers greeted 75 fast runners at the third Los Vaqueros Wildflower Run 10k race Saturday morning, May 1, 2010.
Record-breaking was the story of the day, as both the men's and women's records were soundly beaten.
Defending Wildflower Run champion Thomas Taylor of Phoenix destroyed the 10K course record with a time of 35.22, an astounding 6.56 minutes under the course record set in the first Wildflower Run in 2008. Taylor now owns two course records in the Tarantula Run in October, and now in the Wildflower Run.
Kim Ferrari of Livermore -- who has run in every race held at Los Vaqueros -- won her first overall race at LV with a 50:31.0, one minute and 12 seconds under the old mark, also set in 2008 (last year, the course was shortened because of rain).
Alex Danner -- brother of Dan Danner, former CCWD employee who passed away two years ago -- won the most hard-fought class of the day, the 50-59 age group with the top three separated by 12 seconds.
District watershed staff did an outstanding job getting the course ready after recent rains. CCWD employees who worked the event received rave reviews from the runners and their families for their good work.
