On Sunday November 6, the Woodard Family ran in the Huntington Beach Derby. As a part of the Fit Family Challenge Sage, Sierra and Scott Woodard with the company of Sandra, Elena, Jasa and Emily ran a 2 kilometer (1.25 miles) obstacle course on the beach. However, it was by no means as relaxing and elegant as it sounds the pouring rain and 60 degree weather made for a unique experience.
