Calling All PAX – this coming weekend is the 2nd Annual Khaleda Run in Denver. Khaleda was brought to our country through adoption by Dr. Amanda Barker-Assell and Dr. Michael Assell. As part of their Advanced Family Eye Care business, their mission was to assist children around the world by providing much needed eye care. They initially brough Khaleda back to the US to give her an opportunity to receive medical care she needed and eventually adopted her.. The event is to remember Khaleda who was taken from us way too soon and support her vision of addressing vision and literacy challenges in our community and abroad. Khaleda is also the niece of our F3 Brother Goodwrench (he and Dr Barker-Assell are siblings).
If effort to support our community, our brother Goodwrench and the vision of Khaleda, let's get out and race! The race starts at 8, however YHC is adding a twist – a pre-race workout beginning at 6:45 AM EST in The Gates I Pool Parking Lot. So here's the plan:
Between now & Saturday May 8 – Register for the race! 5k is $35 and 10k is $45
On Saturday May 8
6:00-6:45 AM EST – pick up your race packet (do this before our workout because they're taking temperatures at check in) at Advanced Family Eye Care (building behind the Sports Page, 7547 Waterside Loop Rd, Denver, NC 28037)
6:45-7:45 AM EST – attend the pre-race F3 workout (Glencrest Drive in The Gates, Stanley NC 28164), it will be moderate intensity and we'll be sure to include stretching at the end of the workout
7:45 AM EST – mosey to the start line, it's about 1/4 mile away
8:00 AM EST – race
8:30 AM EST – breakfast at the Sport Page (free to all race participants)
Several PAX are already signed up. I hope you will too. Looking forward to seeing you there. Check your F3 Calendars to ensure there are Q's for our regularly scheduled workouts at Mustang and SVU.
Namaste, Bertha
