Cure of Ars 5K Wrap Up

This year Personal Best was an official sponsor of the Cure of Ars 5K. It was well supported with many friendly volunteers. Over 500 runners participated. It was a great opportunity to support a community school as well as promote Personal Best to area runners.

Two runners won Personal Best memberships in the Cure of Ars raffle and will be joining us this Winter/Spring session: Mendi Eskew and Kristen Martin.

Thank you Greg Shaw and Laine Sommers for representing Personal Best and participating in the race.

And...congratulations to Laine who was first place finisher for women after running a 17-mile training run! She won $50.00 cash!
