Client Update, 5/7/10

Happy Friday!

The sun came out this morning and though it’s still not the warm spring weather I was hoping for it does remind me that summer is coming and along with it so many reasons why I love the season. The following are a few exciting upcoming events this spring and early summer:

The Sun Valley Wellness Festival, with featured speaker, Jamie Lee Curtis. May 28 – 31
In addition to Jamie Lee Curtis, there are over 30 other presentations by authors, doctors, and experts in a variety of fields, 11 movement classes from pilates to yoga to belly dancing, workshops on everything from golf to herbal medicines, an exhibit hall featuring terrific products from over 30 vendors, a hands on hall where you can receive a massage and get a henna tattoo. Rates at Sun Valley start at $115 per night http://www.sunvalleywellness.org/

The 6th annual Sun Valley Half Marathon will take place in stunning Sun Valley, Idaho, on June 5th and will offer several new improvements, both to the course and the logistics of the race itself. The start/finish area will move to the new Sun Valley Pavilion lawn at the Sun Valley Resort, allowing for a relaxing spot for spectators to watch as family and friends cross the finish line. http://www.sunvalleyhalfmarathon.com/

The First Annual Sun Valley Rhythm and Ride: Bike and Music Festival will take place June 24 – 27th. Events Include the Ketchum Cruiser Criterion, Sheep Town Fat Tire Rally, the Sawtooth Century bicycle tour, the Dollar Mountain 10K Trail Run, Musical Headline Concerts in Hailey and Sun Valley, the First Annual Idaho Pump Track State Championships, plus tentative plans for a Ride the Harriman Trail and group rides with high profile mountain bike champions, yoga sessions and more.
