Our first Wildflower Run on Saturday, May 10 was a great success, with 70 runners competing on the 10K course over Los Vaqueros' quickly browning rolling hills.

Jason Jones crosses the finish line to win the first Los Vaqueros Wildflower Run.

Due to the dry spring, there were not many wildflowers to be seen, though race winner Jason Jones of Oakley would not have had much time to see the at the pace he was going.

He won the race with a time to 42.18 and was followed closely by Derek Wurst of Pittsburg at 43.01. The top five finishers were all under 45 minutes.

Molly Welker, shown here climbing a hill at the three-mile mark, won the women's division.

Molly Welker of Brentwood was the top woman 51:43, her race coming after she rode her bike about 16 miles to Los Vaqueros that morning.

Thanks to all who helped and participated in the run.Special thanks to RoadRunner Sports in Concord for donating the shoes that went to the fast time winners.
