Community Fun Run
Several hundred walkers and runners (and a few dozen dogs) turned out on Saturday, May 21, for a Community Fun Run at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Friends of the Chula Vista Library, as well as Friends of the Chula Vista Animal Shelter, the Chula Vista Nature Center and Chula Vista Parks and Recreation.
