Pardee Homes to sponsor event

The city of North Las Vegas and Pardee Homes will present the ninth annual Northern Exposure 10K Race, 2-Mile Fun Run/Walk and Day of Fitness Nov. 14.

The 10K race will begin at 7:30 a.m. and the two-mile run/walk begins at 8 a.m. Both begin and end at Seastrand Park, located at 6330 Camino Eldorado at Centennial Parkway in Pardee Homes' Eldorado master-planned community in North Las Vegas.

"The Northern Exposure run and walk at Eldorado has become another popular tradition in North Las Vegas that attracts participants from the entire Las Vegas Valley," said Klif Andrews, Southern Nevada division president, Pardee Homes.

"Pardee has been the title sponsor of this event since it was started in 2000 and we remain committed to Eldorado, where we developed Seastrand Park and donated it to the city a decade ago. It is important for this company to support community events such as this and the annual Independence Day Jubilee."

The 10K race course winds through the developing communities in North Las Vegas.

More than $3,000 in cash and prizes will be distributed to the top three overall winners (male and female), top two in the masters divisions (male and female), and top three in each age division (male and female).

The 2-Mile Family Run/Walk is a separate course that's ideal for families and participants with strollers. Both courses wind through the master-planned community of Eldorado, developed by Pardee since 1990.

There will be live music and entertainment, food service vendors, a health fair and more.

All participants receive an official race T-shirt. Registration for the 10K is $22 for adults and $18 for children age 12 and under and $30 on the day of the event. Registration for the 2-Mile Family Run/Walk is $15 for adults and $10 for children age 12 and $25 and $20 respectively on the day of the event.

Discounts are offered for school teams and groups.

The 25-acre park, developed by Pardee and dedicated to the city of North Las Vegas, is named for the late North Las Vegas Mayor James Seastrand.
