I did the Color Run back in 2012 and just noticed on my account that the company who processed…read moretheir race and payments posted an unauthorized charge of $89.95 for a yearly membership 7 and 8 years later! I was charged in 2019 and again for 2020. I just noticed it and tried to call ACTIVE NETWORK but they had heavy call volumes so I reported the unauthorized charges to my bank and BBB.org who are currently investigating it. If you check them out on BBB.org there are NUMEROUS complaints on the same issue. ActiveNetwork.com even has a Q&A on the annual fee. So it must happen pretty often. I logged into the account and looked at my history of charges from them. I attached a photo with this review. I hope races and marathons stop working with this shady company.

Thought I'd better get this review out since I'm doing the LA Color Run tomorrow!…read more I was signed up for the 9:00am wave. We picked up our bibs that morning of the event and the lines moved along smoothly. Reading the other reviews, I'm glad I wasn't in town Friday to make the pick up at the store. They gave out water bottles that morning with different colored lids and sweatbands for your head. With so many people, it took awhile to finally get to the start of the line but that was to be expected. Items were thrown into the waiting crowd. I'm sure these were the same items that were for sale. During the route, we were able to put in some running, dodging the walkers. I did my best to get color on me from the volunteers. If you didn't get enough color on you during the run, you will most definitely get showered with it during the after party where color is thrown in the air at intervals. Awesome energy at the post run party but got hit with elbows and arms a few times since my cousin insisted on being so close to the front. The crowd was filled with happy, hyped-up people that got crazy trying to catch the items being thrown from the stage, which included more packets of color. It's crazy standing in there when people are throwing the powder up in the air. The sun gets blocked out for those seconds. I didn't see any blowers as we were leaving but I did hear one. My cousin just wanted to get to the hotel and shower so we didn't bother looking. Make sure to bring something to cover your car seats for the ride home. Expect your tongues to be colored. I think I was getting over a cold at the time. This is gross but even the mucous from my throat was colored the following day. Don't worry, it's all harmless. I'm still alive. Awesome event and I had a blast but I noticed these color-type runs are becoming more common now.

I've seen his improvement over time but am currently sitting in on an entire class and am impressed.

And in just this one class, he finally started 'getting' the bounce rhythm with which he's been struggling.

Looking for a trail run that requires grit?…read more Well, the Xterra Trail Run Series will do exactly that, especially here at Black Mountain. Whether for beginners or advanced runners, Black Mountain's 5k and 15k runs offer fire road trails with plenty of maneuverability and leeway to single-laned sections coupled with twists, turns, and even a small creek crossing. And hills! My God, the last 3 miles were a challenge! Just when you think you've reached the mountaintop, just when you think you've pushed yourself to the limit and have begun to relax, it continues... Great shirts and finisher medals awarded at Xterra!

Carmel Mountain Preserve is an extension of the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve located in the…read moreneighborhoods of Carmel Country and Torrey Hills. The area that I hiked was further south than the trailhead off Carmel Country Rd just south of Hwy 56. My starting point was the southwest corner of Ocean Air Community Park and Recreation Center. There was plenty of available parking because of this local recreational facility. According to a hiking app, the circuit was a loop of about 2.75 miles that took a little over an hour to complete. I noticed that by going counterclockwise, the trail started very wide with plenty of space for bicyclists and horses. There was a couple that was horseback riding during my stroll. Most of the path was clean although occasional land mines of horse dung were present. As the trek extended west and south, the walk became narrow to the point in which I was following a gully down a slope. Except for one hill in the southwest section, this trail was quite flat. Houses on the edges of the bluffs were visible and lined the perimeter of this preserve. The number of trail markers/signs was minimal, and none of them indicated a distance from the trailheads. If you live nearby, then it's a nice escape to take the kids and/or pets on a walk of minimal difficulty.

The price of playing here is $4 an hour, which is valued very cheap compared to most other pool halls. Some of the tables here that are top of the line (Olhausen Accu-fast tables). If you're looking for tournament play, there are 8-ball tournaments hosted here every quarter. The community and people working here are really friendly and willing to answer any questions about the place. Most of the customers that come by here are undergraduate & graduate students whom are all very friendly as well. Because of the age group that come here, the music taste is more on the mainstream and electronic dance music side which to me, fits my personal taste. Basically, if you're unfamiliar with ucsd or with anyone here, this is a good place to meet friends because people here are pretty willing to play with anyone. Additionally, the place is located conveniently next to restaurants and bars (ie Shogun, Burger King, Rubio's, Panda Express, Tapioca Express, Porter's Pub, etc) and the ucsd bookstore, an expensive store but has a variety of items to select from. The games offered here don't just stop at pool. Ping pong, foosball, and many board games are also offered here. Ping pong goes for $2/hour and foosball for $0.25 a game. I highly recommend coming here as this place has become like a second home to me even though I've only been coming here for a year or so.

If you're a beginner, I think that's sufficient for a driver shot. They also have huge fencing on the sides so you be sure that your balls will never fly out of the range, but if it does it won't hit anything but trees and grass. The only downside is subset of the stalls have some light shading overhead. I would imagine they get little foot traffic during peak summer hours. The range has spacious ample parking and it has never been a problem. I think a bigger problem might be finding a stall during peak hours.

The ball dispenser uses an app, which you can preload to get bonus credit. I never had any issues with it. I also never had any other issues while practicing here. So I didn't have a reason to interact with any of the staff. There's plenty of parking, even when it's busy. If they put up more shade then it would've met all of my needs.
