It is finally here! The Second Annual Embrace Our Green Space Race to benefit four local parks is happening again on Saturday, March 24th at Oak Grove UMC starting at 10AM. There is an event for everyone: 2K walk for seniors and kids, 5K run/walk, 10K run, 10K skate, and 20K bike ride. All routes are well marked and wind through lovely central DeKalb neighborhoods. For participant safety, police are posted at busy intersections and volunteers at some turns. The cyclists will start promptly at 10AM, followed immediately by the skaters, then the 10K runners, 5K runners and lastly the 2K walkers. All events will be completed before noon. These events are non-competitive. Great post race snacks provided by local restaurants.
You and your friends and neighbors are cordially invited to COME OUT FOR SOME FRESH AIR AND EXERCISE, MEET NEW FRIENDS, TOUR OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PARKS!
All proceeds beyond the cost of staging this event will go to these deserving friends of park groups: Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve, Kittredge Park, Mary Scott Nature Park and the new park on Lavista Road near Oak Grove. Park Pride Atlanta is providing financial management of the funds.
To register online go to: www.embraceourgreenspacerace.org and that will take you directly to the online registration at Active.com. Be sure to sign up by March 14th to get your t-shirt. Cost is $20 per adult, and kids under 12 can participate for $10. Onsite registration the day of the event starts at 9AM in the church parking lot and is $5 more per entrant.
