Most of the running events in the Sacramento area have been around for a while. So, it's interesting when a new race (or, rather, "run" -- there is a difference) comes on the scene.
It's the Jan. 24 Arden Arcade Community Run, a 7-mile loop that begins at William B. Pond Recreation Area, travels to Watt and back. (There also is a 2-mile loop.) It's a free, low-key event, but you can spring for a T-shirt for $10.
Who knows? This may be the start of a tradition. After all, the Run to Feed the Hungry was a small race about 15 years ago. Look at it now.
Oh, and the difference between a race and a run?
Well, you can have more fun, less cut-throat competition...unless you're one of those Type-A runners, which includes most of us.
