The ONLY 5K Run on the Midatlantic Association of the United States of America Track and Field's Championship and Grand Prix circuit. Over 300 athletes registered, and approximately 230 ran on an unseasonably cold, rainy morning. Because of the generosity of our sponsors, there were plenty of canopies, a great jazz band, and lots of water, juice and other provisions on hand. Police Commissioner John Timoney was our honorary race chair, and mayoral candidate Sam Katz started the race.
