BABY-boomers and members of Generation X like to be entertained by sporting events. While the younger Millennials are not satisfied with just watching, they need to participate as well.
With this in mind San Mateo Mayor Tina Diaz and Vice Mayor Paeng Diaz called on the public of San Mateo to help save their watershed and promote fitness and health as well by joining the San Mateo Fun Run for the Watershed.
Three thousand answered the call and joined the fun run which is now on its sixth year. The run is part of San Mateo Festival which also happens on September every year.
The run aims to promote the preservation of the San Mateo Watershed and encourages residents of San Mateo to be health conscious by joining physical activities.
