RACE IS ONLY 2 MONTHS AWAY!

🎉 IT'S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND AT ALEX'S 5K! 🎉

While this is Labor Day Weekend for all, Alex's 5K celebrates the birthday weekend of four of our most important race founders and OG race committee members!

🎂 September 6th — We celebrate:

Lara Allen — Alex's 5K race founder. Lara founded the race in 2011 to honor the life of Alex Jamrich and served as Race Director for many years. ❤️

Susan Cita (aka Crazy Cat Lady) — who sponsors and manifests the Kids' K and the all-important post-race Kids' Zone. 🐱🏃‍♀️

Dave Piper — who organizes the epic post-race party food and drink every year. 🍕🍻

🎂 September 5th — We celebrate:

Rocio Rizzo — Alex's "Second Mom." She and her family prepare the delicious homemade Colombian beans and rice that have become a standout dish at the post-race party. 🇨🇴❤️

Happy Birthday to all four! And thank you for everything you have done — and continue to do — to make Alex's 5K so special! 🎉🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️❤️
