II Maraton para la juventud de Granada
(The Infantil Group (ages 10-15) ready to start their RUN!!)
The Second Annual Vida Joven Marathon was yesterday, April 10. About 200 kids ran the races (a 2.5 K and 5K Race) and the overall winner won a Bicycle from BiciMaximo (a shop owned by one of our friends and fellow missionary). It was quite successful, and I am now glad that the stress of planning and raising support for this race is now over. 🙂 Here are some pictures of the day(taken from Yener Lopez- the area director of Vida Joven Granada)
Oscar- one of the clowns during the Vida Joven Fundraiser and Race – there were 4 clowns that went around asking for donations during the race and before.
Yener Lopez (the area director of Vida Joven Granada) and Baker- who owns BiciMaximo(FIRST prize was a Bicimaximo Bike), works for El Puente, and helped to organize the race with us.

VIDA JOVEN Kids plus us (yeah im in the picture you just cant see me because Im too short haha)
The race was pretty successful, raising money for Vida Joven and providing a fun time to run for the other kids of Granada. 🙂 Hopefully this tradition keeps going and the Nicas can raise money each year for Young Life kids!
YEAH! That’s awesome! Glad the event went well! What a Great turnout!
