Another Successful Flat Out 5K!
The Greenville Jaycees presented the annual Flat Out 5k and Fun Run on Saturday July 1st. This year's race was a big success raising in excess of $3000 that will be split between the three charities that the race supports. They are the NC Jaycee Burn Center, the Leo W. Jenkins Cancer Center, and the Family Violence Program of Pitt County.
Many thanks to the volunteers that came out the day of the race to hand out water, cold towels, set up the race course and food, and work the finish line and registration tables. The race requires so many things to happen at the same time on race morning and everyone's flexibility and helpfulness is very much appreciated. And getting to race morning is a whole 'nother story. There is a whole list of people that coordinated and helped with activities in the weeks and months before the race. This included raising money, ordering T's and trophies, getting logos, stuffing bags, getting stuff to put in bags, hauling things to the race, designing t-shirts, and getting permits.
We hope to continue the tradition of the Flat Out 5k, all comments and suggestions for next year are welcome.

This was such a fun event as usual and I love the new courses. What a great idea to have the race end on the beautiful town commons by the river!
