Get out and get active! Life in Southeastern North Carolina has a treasure trove of fabulous activities. With amenities like a staffed fitness center, several pools, tennis and pickleball courts and walking trails, it’s not very hard to enjoy a healthful lifestyle. When you’re looking to shake up the scenery, Brunswick Forest encourages you to get out and engage in our local area. 5K races are a great way to get active while also helping to give back to your community. Here are a few exciting races you can participate in this month!
Presented proudly by WILMA Magazine is the Wilmington area’s only all-female 5K! The WILMA Dash is a race that provides both charity and challenge for those that participate. It doesn’t matter if you’re a hardened marathon veteran or a first-timer, the WILMA dash is open to all skill levels. Dashers can compete in teams for the chance to win great prizes, like a $500-dollar gift card to Front Street Brewery or tickets to see the Wilmington Sharks! Awards for the 5K include Top 3 Overall Females, top 3 masters females, and top 3 in each age group. Team awards will be for participants with the largest group and the team with the most outrageous outfits. Most importantly, this 5K will donate its proceeds to Going Beyond the Pink; this is a local organization that helps women fighting against breast cancer. After the race is completed, participants are invited to the post run health-fest free of charge. The race will take place on May 16th at the Wilmington Convention Center starting at 6:30pm. For racers looking to register it will cost $50 dollars for participants ages 16 and over, while those under 15 will cost $40 dollars. To check out the full blog, click here: http://bit.ly/2HarKNZ
