The 2nd Annual Briar Chapel 5K attracted over 70 runners this year, which benefited the Abundance Foundation in Chatham County. Overall winners were Russell Westbrook (18:29) and Bridget Perry (21:55). About 30 kids participated in the fun run around the circle. For a complete list of results, visit East Carolina Road Racing.
Personally, I did somewhat better than last year, and enjoyed the company of my wife during the race this year (it was her first 5K!).
Briar Chapel raised almost $3,000 for The Abundance Foundation towards their tireless pursuit to increase public awareness of sustainable energy usage and local food consumption. In addition to the runners, a big thanks are in order to the race sponsors, including: CE Group, Kimley-Horn, Southern Energy Management, Chatham Marketplace, Kennon Craver, and Triangle Electrical Services.
