Glendale Downtown Dash

Glendale's third annual Downtown Dash, a 5K run/walk, took place on Sunday, March 14. By News-Press estimates, nearly 1,500 runners, walkers and stroller-pushers braved the brisk morning air to give their cardiovascular system a good workout. The event was organized to raise money for Glendale Adventist Medical Center's Stroke Services and increase awareness of stoke; the community’s second leading cause of death. The Dash offered a fun atmosphere that took the participants down Brand Blvd, through the Americana and back up again.

This year for the 1st time, our Chapter took part by presenting “Team Ararat”. Ours was an energetic and enthusiastic group who showed up bright and early, ready to hit the ground running (or walking!!!).

Thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to “Team Ararat” winners. Our 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in their age groups are:

1st Place - Daniel Sinanian, Areg Baghdassarian and Armik Ebrahimian

2nd Place - Melineh Ebrahimian and Ofelia Simonian
