Taste of Town Center 5K

The Kiwanis Club — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 20:30:15 +0000

Taste of Town Center 5K Race pays tribute to military veterans of the Hampton Roads area in partnership with the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society. In addition, the Town Center Kiwanis Club raises tens of thousands of dollars for local children’s charities such as CHKD, Special Olympics, Seton Youth Shelters, and many more. Every Veteran’s Day week, hundreds of runners participate in our 5K Race. Additionally, kids 6 years and younger participate in our 100 – yard Tot Trot. The crown jewel of the event is the Taste of Town Center following the race. Many of the Town Center area restaurants provide samples of their excellent cuisine to the race participants and their families.

The 2011 Race represents the 17th year of this event and its seventh year at Town Center. This event is held annually to honor the memory of John Wecht, a fellow Kiwanian, and to support the charitable organizations he loved. The day’s events will feature a 5K Race, a 100-yard Tot Trot – for young children, and Post Race Celebration with food, music and entertainment. Pick your favorite Town Center restaurant, and you will probably enjoy their signature specialty included in your race registration! So you have several favorites? Enjoy them all!

And, then there is the competitive spirit of corporate teams -complete with company banners, shirts, and hats, all trying to outdo the rest to capture the coveted Corporate Team Awards for the largest, fastest and most creatively attired teams. If you are a corporate sponsor, your sponsorship could even include registration for your team! Runners and those who just like to have fun, talk this one up to your management team! We will brand you like none other!
