The 5 K Race!

The 5K race was a new event for the Festival this year. Denae Dobbins is stretching to get ready. There were over 70 participants. The daughters, son-in-law, grandkids and dog are Ruth Chisler's family members who were in from the South for a visit. They are a wonderful family.

Long-time runner, Jim Bailey was one of the race organizers.

The race was expertly started with the help of the GSC athletic crew. It was a beautiful morning.

Get ready... get set........

And they are off!

Here comes the winner of the race. The lad is on the GSC track team. Are we surprised?

I have sent an email in requesting the champion's name and I shall supply it as soon as it is received.

With our winner is Shantelle Harkleroad, who was the force behind the run being so successful.

Here comes Steve Holbrook into the finish line.

You have to love roommates that join in events like this. Sarah and her roommate ran a great race.

Sisters Jennifer Borsch and Judy Holbrook are celebrating the finish. It is Jennifer's birthday, and this was her first race. What a way to celebrate! You have what it takes, Ladies!

The Burkowskis ran and did a fine job. Let's give a hand to the English professors!

The 5 K race was certainly a success. A big thanks to all of you who made it happen!
