Pardee Homes will sponsor annual race

For the eighth consecutive year, Pardee Homes is the title sponsor of the city of North Las Vegas Parks and Recreation Department's annual Northern Exposure 10K Race and Two-Mile Family Run/Walk on Nov. 8.

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

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.

"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 Pardee Homes Southern Nevada Division President Klif Andrews. "Pardee remains committed to Eldorado, where we developed Seastrand Park and donated it to the City in 2000. 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 of America's second-fastest growing large city. 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 Two-Mile Family Run/Walk is a separate course that's ideal for families and participants with strollers. Both courses wind through Eldorado, developed by Pardee beginning in 1990.

There will be live music and entertainment, food vendors, a health fair and more. For more information call 633-2650 or visit active.com.
