Jim Greiner Provides Groove for Wharf to Wharf Race
 Longtime LP artist Jim
Greiner led a drum circle at the starting line to
kick off the 35th annual Santa Cruz, California Wharf to Wharf Race on
Sunday, July 22, 2007. Fifteen thousand people of all ages and skills, from
elite African and U.S. runners to children and elders, participated in the
10 K event. The racecourse runs from the Santa Cruz Wharf to
the Capitola Wharf. This is the 12th year that Jim has led the drum circle
at the start of the race since he initiated it.
The Santa Cruz Wharf to Wharf Race is a benefit that has raised hundreds
of thousands of dollars over the years for Santa Cruz County school athletic
programs. It is considered one of the premier races of this type in the
world. The course follows the beautiful Monterey Bay coastline and features
musical entertainment along its entire length.
Jim Greiner is a percussionist, educator, community drumming leader and
inspirational speaker. He leads interactive drumming programs and percussion
workshops for corporate team building, for community groups and in schools
worldwide through his company, Hands-On! Drumming® Events. Jim is also
head of LP’s Recreational & Community
Drumming Program.
