WBW Mother's Day 5k Run/Walk & Kid's Races

5k Run/Walk for adults & kid's races in the park.  Ribbons awarded in age groups for male/female.  Proceeds to benefit LLL. 

Our race went very well.  We’ll have results posted at wbw.esalibirth.com in the next day or so with pictures…etc.  We totaled around $1000 (profit) for the event, but with sponsors & awards (before taking out our costs) we had about $2000+ total in donations.  I’m thrilled, this was very exciting and successful and I really look forward to next year’s event and hopefully many others just like it!
