With April coming to a close I am once again swamped with preparations for the annual NPA 5k/fun run fundraising event.
This year we are making significant strides to both simplify and improve.
You may recall the series of unfortunate events that was last year's race. This year we purchased a professional display clock (so we don't have to beg for the donation of timing services every year), and we'll let the folks make a note of their own time while they're in the chute. With the simplified finish line, I am throwing more effort into route support so we don't have a fiasco like last year. I mapped out the course myself with Mitch-darling this last weekend. It will be marked, mapped, staffed and we're even looking into having race volunteers pacing/with maps & info in the race.
Hopefully, that will take care of any eventuality. Short of an alien invasion.
Having said all that, please come out and support the kids' and our school. This is our big event of the year (and in my unbiased opinion, definitely the most fun!). April 28th 9AM sharp, Roi Hardy park - 12600th South in Riverton on the parkway. You can register to run ahead of time (this week- let me know) or that morning. $20/participant. Pre-kindergarten age = free. Or you can sponsor the kids. Or come cheer them on and eat pancakes!
See you there!
