Event Description
This 5K is aimed at celebrating
our running/walking community of friends
even when it seems our crazy summer heat
will never end.
Summer sun lets us slow down or change our pace. We may visit different places, change our routine, and add friends. Summer may also signal major changes – new locations, new schools, new jobs. What better way to embrace the everyday – and approaching adventures – then getting together with our running/walking community for a Summer Evening 5K?
Your Endless Summer hostess and local running legend, Janet, is celebrating retirement after a career of 35 years. Come lace up your ‘kicks’ for this Have a good time - Endless Summer 5K!
This event is to celebrate community and summer.
Profits from the event will be given to St Mary’s Food Bank.
