The 1st annual Warrior 5K Run/Walk & Breakfast was held on November 12 at 9 a.m. at the Elizabeth Forward Middle School.
Steve Spang (right) placed first in the 5K run. Owen Meilander (left) placed second. Yes, they look happy! |
Residents and veterans Matt Garfold, of GI Plumbing, and Erik L. Ash, of Farmers Insurance, put together and sponsored the race to benefit local veterans. Their other sponsored projects include the banner program, Memorial Day services, graveside flags, and youth sports and community projects in the Elizabeth and Elizabeth Township areas.
A cold but sunny morning was ideal for running. Participants of all ages and speeds came out to enjoy the day and support a great community effort.
