Immediately following the race, runners and spectators will be able to enjoy music, food, and refreshments on Glendale's newly constructed Infinity Park, the first ever municipal U.S. Rugby Stadium. Rugby games and a casino night will ensue promptly after of the festivities.
"This event is going to be quite a celebration-it's the grand opening of Infinity Park," says Larry Harte, Mayor of the City of Glendale. "This is not an ordinary stadium. It's a community facility and we plan to use it for a variety of things. This run is a good example of how the city plans to be flexible with its use".
In addition to bringing the community closer together, the 'FitBeats Metro Mile' is also aimed at giving back to the Glendale YMCA. A portion of the proceeds will go directly towards supporting the 'YMCA Strong Kids Campaign', which supports Glendale YMCA community programs for children, adults, families and seniors.
"The heart of the Glendale YMCA operation is based on the Strong Kids Campaign which provides program subsidy and scholarships so everyone has the opportunity to participate in YMCA programs", explains Debbie Ford, Executive Director of the Glendale YMCA. "The hallmark of the success of the Glendale YMCA is collaboration with the City of Glendale and other organizations that support the healthy development of children, teens, adults, and families."
