First Annual "Fit for the King" 5K Run/3K Walk

Warriors Path State Park, was the site for our first annual "Fit for the King" 5K Run/3K Walk.  The weather could not have been more perfect.  The colors of fall were brilliant along the tranquil lake and October blue sky.

61 eager participants lined up at the starting line as family members and friends stood by to cheer them along.
It was a fast start, with Brandy Nothnagel and Wayne Strasser taking an early lead.  Brandy won the race, not only as the first female, but the overall winner, with a time of 21:09.  She was a blur as she passed by!  Wayne took second place overall and first place male finisher.  Congratulations to all of our participants!

Jamie Williams was our race director.  She did a fantastic job of pulling the race together.  Foot Rx and Rasnic Chiropractic sponsored the event with prizes and timing equipment.  David Williams and Gary Hubble were the Master Chefs, who cooked for the 80 plus attendees.

Matt McClosky brought a thought provoking message about how to be "Fit for the King".

As you can tell by the video footage, a great time was had by all.  We are looking ahead to bigger and better next year, as we open the race to the community.
