Dublin Distance Fiesta
Dublin High School is hosting the 17th annual Dublin Distance Fiesta, one of the top high school distance-running events in the country and the largest distance-only meet in the county by participation, this weekend.
Starting on Friday (March 21), the national showcase for elite distance runners will feature nearly 250 high schools from California and Nevada, over 4,200 student athletes and over 6,000 race entries. Athletes will compete in several different races and relays across the two-day competition in Dublin.
“The meet regularly draws top distance runners from across the West Coast and serves as a proving ground for athletes preparing for championship-level competitions later in the season,” said Chip Dehnert, Dublin Unified School District’s director of communication.
In addition to the high school competition, the event will also feature the Dublin Distance Fiesta Middle School Mile Exhibition on Friday, which gives younger students from across the Tri-valley a chance to compete.
New DSRSD website
The Dublin San Ramon Services District launched a new website that the water provider says will make it easier for customers to “quickly find information and access services”.
“Our website is often the first place DSRSD customers go for information,” DSRSD General Manager Jan Lee said in a press release. “This upgrade makes it easier for customers to connect with us and find what they need quickly.”
According to the press release, the newly-designed website was modernized and simplified in several ways. One of the updates is that the website is now structured to better serve different DSRSD customer types such as residential, businesses and contractors. The website also improved its accessibility and its mobile layout to make it easier for all customers to navigate.
