2011 HS 5k Fun Run Success!
Participants mingling at the Finish of the Happy Smackah 5k
The inaugural Happy Smackah 5k Fun Run / Walk was held today – and was a resounding success!
Mother Nature did bring an overcast morning. Â While rain ultimately never fell, the day was brightened by the spirits of all in attendance.
The Fun Run accommodated a wide range of participants, from experienced runners to casual walkers, and included one bicyclist!
Event participants were greeted, and hearts lifted, from a special appearance by Dan and Karen Cribby. Â Dan looked fantastic and appeared at both the Start and Finish of the Fun Run.
While not a timed event, impressive times were turned in. Â More than that, all had impressive smiles at the finish. Â Once complete, runners enjoyed Evol burritos, bananas, and water from Pepsi Beverages Company.
All-in-all it was simply a wonderful event for those involved: participants, volunteers, and supporters.
The Happy Smackah would like to thank all of our wonderful sponsors for their support to make this event possible.
Finally, we’d like to thank all our participants – including Dan’ friends, family, current and former students, for being there and making this such a special and memorable day!
THANK YOU!
