Thin Blue Line 5K

 

As always, CMPD puts on a fantastic event!  This was the second year for this event and it was as much fun as the first year!  Lots of energy with these guys and gals and a fantastic course (challenging) for runners!  The race supports a scholarship fund for high school students choosing to pursue a career in law enforcement and it is in honor of fallen officers of the CMPD, with special regard to those who lost their lives on 4/1/07.

COURSE:

Ashpalt, Trail, Grass, Gravel, Asphalt, Stairs, Grass, Trail, Asphalt, Stairs, Gun Range Weave, Stairs, Asphalt and then BUBBA... Bubba is one big bad hill... so help me I believe it is a 90 degree + angle up that hill and when you reach the top... there is 'cruel and unusual punishment'...  Cops in full uniform holding out boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts...   *laugh*

If you are planning your 2011 calendar, this is a "must add" for the Charlotte area.  

This year's event included technical tees for all registered participants (we know it's all about the shirt!).

The fundraiser also included (for sale) dog tags, cotton t-shirts and raffle tickets.  Post race refreshments were phenomenal - water, two vitamin waters, bagels, cookies, oranges, apples, crackers, bananas and DON'T FORGET the doughnuts!! Looking forward to next year!
