Run for the Torch 5k BENEFITING the Virginia Special Olympics
WE THANK THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED ON JUNE 27TH AT 7:00 AM IN OUR 1ST ANNUAL “RUN FOR THE TORCH 5K” AT THE LAKE MONTICELLO FIRE DEPARTMENT. The event is a fundraiser for the Virginia Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run.
I wanted to thank everyone that came out to run this morning. We caught a break and the rain stopped just in time for the run. I also wanted to that Lake Christian Church for providing volunteers.
Lets hear it for Dave Kwiatkowski and Claire Naylor out 1st Place male and female finishers. Great job.
Posted below are a few pictures and the "official" results.
I do need to apologize to those who did not get the proper size shirt. We had an issue with our preregistration system and some of those who preregistered didn't appear on my list. I will order the shirts Monday and get them to you all ASAP.
I thank everyone for their patience and understand. This was my first time planning a race, so it was a learning experience. Also, sorry the course was a bit short of 3.1. The last minute re-route threw me off a bit.
Hope to see everyone next year under blue sky.

I also want to mention that we have prizes for first place male and female! Thanks to the Dogwood Restaurant. We also have a few other prizes we will give away at random to the souls that brave the rain.
I wanted to thank the Lake Monticello Owners Association for the use of the course, the Lake Monticello Fire Department for the use of the firehouse, the Dogwood Restaurant, Carterfield Sports, Wal-Mart, Road ID, and Ragged Mountain Running for their donations, Bad to the Bone for the registration, and most importantly all those who signed up and all those who come to participate, despite the weather! So far we have raised over $600 for the Special Olympics!
Thanks to Lake Christian Church for providing great volunteers.
