For five years, the Fun Run was home to the United States Association of Track and Field, the USATF governing body, of the Masters 10K National Championship. “It was a dream watching some of the world’s best runners race through the downtown streets of Paso,” adds Massey. And the event did not lose its community roots. “I think the LA Times put it best when they wrote about the Fun Run being a big-time running event, but with a small town feel. That defined our vision perfectly,” says Massey. Today the Fun Run is one of the most successful family running events in the country. It’s present set-up consists of the Central Coast 10K Classic where some of the area’s best runners compete for a prize purse. This event is complimented by a 5K Run and Walk, 1-mile Run, Half-mile Kids’ Run, 75-yard Kids’ Dash, Diaper Dash and the ever-popular 100-yard Mascot Run. “Through these years we have established an event that the entire family can enjoy. We have stayed to the original vision and values set forth in 1998, that this is an event where the entire family can participate,” adds Massey.
