Corners to Crossing 10K - April 18th 2009
The Race is On! The 2nd Annual Corners to Crossing 10K Race is only a few weeks away!
In 2008 community neighbors in Norcross and Peachtree Corners organized an inaugural event linking residents and community organizations of the City of Norcross and Peachtree Corners. This year on Saturday, April 18th, the second annual Corners to Crossing 10K Run, a 10 kilometer (6.2 mile) run/walk will be conducted. The race will take runners and walkers on a newly designed, runner friendly course from the Robert D. Fowler YMCA in Peachtree Corners to Thrasher Park in historic downtown Norcross. An array of local running enthusiasts, including members of the United Peachtree Corners Civic Association, Norcross Neighbors and the City of Norcross have joined forces to host the race again this year.
The 2nd Annual Corners to Crossing 10K Run is a joint fundraiser for the Robert D. Fowler Family YMCA, the Norcross Cooperative Ministry, the Pinckneyville Middle School, and the Summerour Middle School Foundations. The registration fee for the race will also include a newly created Corners to Crossing moisture wicking race shirt. On Friday evening prior to the race, a community-wide pasta dinner will be hosted by Paizano’s at the YMCA for all runners, race volunteers, and interested citizens. Immediately following the 10K race on Saturday morning, there will be a Tot Trot for children and mid-day performances by local bands in downtown Norcross. In the evening, a street dance, featuring Banks & Shane, will provide a fun, relaxing end to the day of festivities.
Registration forms for the Corners to Crossing 10K Run, a qualifying race, will be available at the YMCA building, YMCA online, at www.cornerstocrossing.com, at www.active.com/running, and in the March and April issues of Inside Gwinnett.
