"It was a fun atmosphere being at a theme park," said Sheldon McCartney, first place winner of the 20 - 29 male age division. "I can guarantee that First Priority will have more runners next year; the word will get out."
"The course was challenging but it was fun and I can't wait until next year to break some records," said Heather Kirk, 5K runner in the 20 - 29 female age division.
Proceeds from the event will help to train and mentor future leaders, provide positive peer groups for students on elementary, middle and high school campuses across the area, facilitate school-wide assemblies to fight drug and alcohol abuse, and much more.
We would like to give a special thanks again to all of our participants and sponsors. We hope you will plan now to participate next year!
