There is a 5K run/walk at Lakewood Park on Sunday morning (5/6). I will be participating, with a friend from work, a fellow Lakewoodite. Any other Observers going to join us?

I'll probably be there shooting photos...

I probably will as well. My son usually runs it.

I'll be the grumpy looking dude with a baseball cap that says "WoodCentral" and toting one of my Nikons with a 70-300G IF-ED AF-S VR lens.

Say hi if you see me. Or, throw things at me or whatever...

Is this the "Ambulance Chase" or whatever it's called? Is there a website?

Thanks.

Yes, the Ambulance Chase. Proceeds benefit the Lakewood Hospital Foundation. Click here for information.

In addition to the 5K there is also a 1.5 mile walk.

My 12-year-old runs these but our schedule may not permit this time.[/u]

Thanks Tim. My son is always 10 steps ahead of me and probably already has this info. But if he doesn't, I have it now.

Thanks!

David, this will put you one step closer to a VR lens!

Great photos! I'm not in any of them (thankfully). It was a fun morning and they had a huge turnout. Hope to do it next year.

A very fast person? Sorry. No, I don't know his name (nor the womens overall winner) but I'm trying to find out. Hermes has not yet posted the results which is odd for Hermes. They usually do this fast.

I am calling them right now...

update- I called, see nest post....
