The weather was damp but we had another successful 5K Run today! Thanks to everyone who came out today to the Center Grove Trails Run, "Blaze the Trails", and had a safe run/walk from Sugar Grove Ele. to Eagle Trace and back again. Congratulations to our 1st Place Winner for the males, Mark Baranko, with a finish time of 17:56!! And, congratulations to our 1st Place Winner for the females, Cindy Harris, with a finish time of 21:32!! Roadrunner Timing Systems provided finish times and places. All official times can be found at www.Indyrunner.com later today. We'll try to post them on this website too. Thanks to our sponsors: The Running Company, Chick-fil-A, Performance Chiropractic and Sports Rehabilitation, and our White River Township Fire Department. Special thanks to the Johnson County Highway Department and the Johnson County Sheriff Department for keeping all the participants safe! And, we thank LA Fitness for participating at today's race too. The slight sprinkle of rain kept a few people from attending today's race, so, we have a few wicking type T-shirts left for sale. Please email this website or call 317-885-1290 if you'd like to purchase this year's 5K race shirt at a discount of $15 each. A very big "Thank You" to all our volunteers that helped plan and organize this big event to show support for trails in Center Grove. All profits from this race will go towards the pedestrian bridge to be built on Stones Crossing Road over Honey Creek just east of the high school property. You can also show your support for trails by purchasing new, approved, specialty license plates for your cars and trucks! They will be available soon thru the BMV and for an additional $40 fee, you can have the new plate. ($25 of this fee goes towards the Greenways Foundation which is the statewide trails organization. More information is at www.greenwaysfoundation.org) You can also stop by this summer at the DNR building at the Indiana State Fair to speak to volunteers for the non-profit group, Greenways Foundation, to see the progress of trails in Indiana! Thanks again to everyone for another successful 5K Run/Walk! See you next year at the WRTFD Strawberry Festival and our Blaze the Trails 5K!! |
