We had a great organizational meeting last night with lots of great ideas for the event. I am really excited about the "Palmetto Hearts 5K Run & Walk presented by Spartanburg Running Club" and think that it is going to be a really fun day of family fellowship for an important cause.The event is scheduled for:
Saturday, April 14th, 2012
9 AM
Duncan Park, Spartanburg
Registration will open on January 3rd and I hope that everyone is saving the date!
Here is just a glimpse of a few of the things we have planned:
1) Every race entry receives a t-shirt, goody bag, and a door prize ticket. We already have commitments for some really great door prizes! I won't spoil the surprises...
2) There will be a Family Fun Zone complete with bouncy houses.
3) We will be taking pre-orders for adorable specialty embroidered t-shirts for children to wear on race day. Keep and eye on this blog as I will be posting pictures of the shirts and taking pre-orders. A good friend of mine is donating her time to make the shirts. Since they are time consuming, we will limit the pre-order to 30 shirts and will have 30 more to sell on race day. The sample that she is made is precious and we decided on the final design last night.
4) We will be working on a website and Facebook page specific to the race to aid in communication. We hope to have the Facebook page ready soon and the website by December.
5) Be keeping an eye out for the upcoming volunteer opportunities:
February: Be a server at a Valentine-themed pancake breakfast at Fatz (Spartanburg) to benefit Palmetto Hearts.
March: Volunteer for a two-hour shift on a Saturday to help promote the race and collect donations outside of Sam's Club.
April: Volunteer to help on race day.
There are lots more surprises planned, but I don't want to give too much away!
Feel free to contact me anytime at 5K@palmettohearts.org if you have any questions or want to help with the event.
