Good Evening Everyone. 

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SPONSORS.  With out them, we would not be able to have this event!  

KEEP IN MIND THIS EVENT IS IN THE EVENING/NIGHT ON CITY STREETS.  We suggest wearing bright / easy to see, clothing. 

PLEASE PARK IN THE BACK PARKING LOT AT Mitchell Community College (address below).  There are several events in the area on Saturday, we want to be respectful of others.  Do Not park in the Broad Street Methodist Church parking lot, or on Broad Street in front of their facility.

Those who register for the 5k and will be receiving the runner bag that will have a t-shirt (based on registration status), free appetizer from The Outback of Statesville and other items. We have ordered a few extra shirts and we will give those out on a first come basis.  These are in limited supply please keep that in mind.
