2nd Annual Briar Chapel 5K Race Results

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.
