disbursement of scholarships to talented local music students.

(3) Presentation of community outreach activities in, including bringing great music to residents of area retirement homes.

The NatureTrack Day In the Country Almost 5K Run winds through the quaint downtown, charming neighborhoods, and quiet countryside of Los Olivos, California. As you run, in addition to the beautiful views, you'll enjoy knowing that your race registration is supporting NatureTrack Foundation, an organization dedicated to fostering a lifelong fascination with nature through outdoor field trips for school-aged children.

Led by fun-loving, knowledgeable docents, each NatureTrack field trip gives children the opportunity to explore, create, learn about, enjoy and sometimes visit for the first time, a natural treasure in "their backyard." NatureTrack enhances a child's education and brings to life the history, ecology, biology, beauty, importance, and wonders of our natural environment.

After the race, you can enjoy Los Olivos' most highly acclaimed festival of the year...the popular Day in the Country. The NatureTrack Almost 5K Run, (for serious, recreational, and furry runners), kicks-off this Los Olivos tradition that celebrates the magic of small-town, country living. With the NatureTrack Almost 5K Run; a parade; tractor show; over a hundred local and regional crafters, artists, and food purveyors; live music; wine tastings; and a beer garden, you'll find post-race fun for the whole family!

Special thanks to Platinum Performance, our race predecessors, for providing the nutrition bars and winner's gifts for the "first-annual NatureTrack Almost 5K Run."

We hope you'll join us. It's an event you won't want to miss!

Three of the most limitless creators and composers in the history of music, Béla Fleck (banjo), Zakir Hussain (tabla) and Edgar Meyer (double bass) have each put forth an unprecedented array of projects that touch every geographical and stylistic corner of the musical world. Coming together as a trio of musical masters and genre-benders, these longtime friends and innovators create a fusion that is uniquely their own. With astonishing virtuosity and 20 Grammy Awards between them, Fleck, Hussain and Meyer move with ease among the worlds of classical, bluegrass and North Indian music, crossing sonic borders in an alchemical evening of magic that must not be missed.

“Simply the best at what they do… they’re world-class masters of the banjo, the bass fiddle and the tabla conquered mere technical prowess long ago.” NPR
