5K Resolution: Resolve to be...INVOLVED!

On the sunny, yet brisk winter morning of January 5, 2013, 452 people assembled at Crocker Park in Sacramento, CA for the First Annual 5K Resolution. We also had 10 virtual runners participate with us in spirit from afar. The event was an overwhelming success! We grossed over $10,000 to support the TRG programs in South Africa. All of the proceeds will be spent on student uniforms, monthly workshops, student scholarship support, and our annual leadership conference in September 2013. If you're interested in traveling with us, please visit the website to learn more about the trip.

Congratulations to our race winners and to those participating in their first 5K in 2013....or ever! We'd like to offer an extra special thank you to our volunteers from local high schools who made the event possible.

We learned a lot from hosting this event...including how long it takes to identify every runner in over 2000 photos. Next year there will be a lot of changes: more portable toilets, a bag check, T-shirts, multiple registration lines, and a lead cyclist. Please put January 4, 2014 on your calendar now and plan to join us!
