Run the Valley Center Hornet Hustle!
Are you ready? WE ARE!!!

This community tradition has become a favorite for our families, friends and running enthusiasts alike! This family friendly event is hosted completely by volunteers, all from Abilene, West, Wheatland Elementary and VCIS PTOs with 100% of the proceeds to go back to all 4 schools, equally.
