meet emma!
Join Her on May 11!
Hi. My name is Emma and I love to run! I am registered to run the Fox's 5K with my grandmother on Saturday, May 11th. We have run races together before, but this will be my first time on the GAP. They also are having a 10 K and a Two Mile Family Fun Walk.
All this is happening on the GAP at West Newton starting at 9 AM--rain or shine! Come and run with us, as it will be a real fun day and a great race as the route is flat.
To Register, click HERE. If you register by April 11 you get both a discount and a free tee shirt for racing. But I think I like the free pizza after the race the best! I hope to see you there! ! !
