Despite promises of high temps, the inaugural Wildomar ALS-ONE 5K was a huge success... as it wrapped up before the real heat came around.

Check in time was to start at 7:30am, and I thought I'd be the early bird, getting there ten minutes before that, just to find that the parking lot was already more than half full, and the line (even for preregistered participants) was more than twenty minutes deep.
There were about 200 registered runners for this event.
There was a DJ, about 20 display booths, bounce houses, face painting, a Strong Board demonstration and a Kettle Bell demonstration.
It was a great day, and I'm already looking forward to the 2nd annual Wildomar ALS-ONE 5k.
Below are some images caught by intrepid Wildomar Rap photographer, Grace Morabito.

The battles that count aren’t the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself – the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us – that’s where it’s at.
