Los Altos Hills Pathways Run/Walk With 'Tracker' Theme Is Saturday

The 13th Annual Los Altos Hills Pathways Run/Walk is Saturday -- May 10 -- at Westwind Community Barn, 27210 Altamont Rd in Los Altos Hills.  

This year’s theme is how to track and identity various pathway users. 

Feel free to dress up as your favorite tracker, like Dora the Explorer or any animal, as there might be tracking on the pathways of raccoons, mountain lions or bob cats.  Add a pair of ears or a tail to your running attire to get in the spirit of this year’s race.
