 In an effort to bring people together (virtually!) under the commonality of exercising and having fun, Common Ground of Eastern North Carolina, Inc. is inviting everyone to participate by walking, running, or hiking either one mile or a 5K.
You have a whole month to participate, any day you want! Your $10 registration fee is tax-deductible, and all proceeds will go directly toward maintaining our community food park along with its programs. All you have to do is go to: https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/Kinston/TheGardenFunRun5K Then grab your running shoes and hit the road, any road! If you are new to this kind of thing, try using an app that tracks your running or walking, such as Runkeeper or NikeRunClub. Have fun, and let us know where you went! |
