Stretch, Run, & Snack: A Wellness Experience for Families at the San Mateo's Farmers Market

Calling all kids & families interested in healthy living– join SpringSpot and the POP Club at the San Mateo Farmers’ Market at 10 AM on Saturday, October 18th for a guided warm up & run around the College of San Mateo, followed by a guided shop & seasonal snack making workshop at the farmers’ market!

This event will be Halloween & fall themed, so come dressed for the occasion– tutus, bunny ears, and other Halloween accessories are encouraged!
