It's time to Gallop with the Gauchos in Santa Barbara

This weekend marks the second annual running of the Gauchos Gallop 5K and 10K at the UC Santa Barbara campus lagoon. That's right, a lagoon. Thank goodness it is not a triathlon, they might make you swim in it. I sat next to that lagoon once, completely hungover, attending a UCSB graduation in the boiling heat. Tough times. Ok, back to the point...

Here's the blurb from their site - Race alongside the pounding surf of the Pacific Ocean and past many UCSB landmarks. Bring your pooch for the pre-race Dioji Dog Dash and then drop them off at the Dioji Doggie Lounge. Celebrate your finish in style at the Finish Line Festival, with music, vendor booths, Woodstocks pizza, an awards ceremony and raffle for great prizes. A doggie race! Oh I am so in... if Zoomzer lived in Santa Barbara. Do you even know how happy our pooch Boomer would be to be included in the race? He'd probably pass out from excitement!

If you are in the area and are looking for something fun to do this weekend, definitely check out these two great races and all the other cool events http://www.gauchogallop.com/ and when you are done don't forget to review the races at Zoomzer.com!
