Last to Finish: Everyone does their 5K at their own pace, and how fast you navigate it isn’t nearly as important as how you finish. This year, our final finishers Zeke Zucker and Yuen Chun completed their 5K together, and they’ll each be taking home coupons for three small dishes of gelato at Gelato Fiasco! |
Last week, at noon on the 15th of September, the Virtual 5K run and 2K family walk wrapped up, and we’d like to thank all of you again for turning out and showing your support! This week, we’re going to distribute some of the prizes from our sponsors that we talked about a few weeks ago! So congratulations to all of our prize winners! And to all of you who took part this year, we thank you again. We’re looking forward to seeing you at next year’s event!

With his friends Yuen Chun and Zeke Zucker in tow, he completed his run this year with a time of 49:28.
Though this year’s 5K was unorthodox, that didn’t stop our runners with perfect attendance from chalking up another successful run and doing their part to keep the Swinging Bridge swinging. So to all three of our all-timers, thank you, and thank you to everyone else who took part this year!
