400+ Walkers/Runners start TTL weekend

8/31/2013

More photos on Whiteville.com in the Latest Photos section.

The table below has times for the Walk / Run. Everyone who started at 8 a.m. can find their times below. Those who started earlier will just add the minutes they started before 8 a.m. See the "Full Screen" link? Handy.

We had a beautiful day today, with more than 400 runners and walkers finishing the 15-mile route from Elizabeth Brinkley Park to the dam and back.

A cool, foggy morning greeted everybody, but that burned off by 9 a.m. and only a nice breeze off the lake helped them under a hot sun.

Lake residents were out in force, giving participants good cheer, water and snacks, but most of all, big smiles and that great Columbus County hospitality.

Had a blast with sis in law Amy yesterday. I have never run that much before and feel great about it. The lake residents were so nice, and we really appreciated the encouragement and treats along the way!!

Thank you all for making this possible and encouraging us to obtain our goal.

It is disappointing when you come out to an event like this and actually 'try' yet your time isn't recorded. I realize that this is volunteer based but I really don't care to waste my time on this next year if my time will not count.

WE'RE 96!

After spending several years at the very bottom of the County Health Ranking -- as the least healthy county in all of North Carolina -- we have improved our lifestyles enough to move up to 96, and we are proud to be so healthy!
