We’re finishing up the dog days of summer and the cooler fall days are fast approaching. It’s time to stop using the hot and humid weather as an excuse not to get out and run, walk or ruck and the perfect way to do that is to sign up for the JJ5K on September 25th, 2021. F3 Gastonia has been a sponsor of this event for the last few years and we are continuing that sponsorship again this year. Some quick facts about the race:

  • Three options; 5k timed run, 5k walk untimed, 1 mile walk
  • Provides a scholarship to an East Gaston High School dance team member each year. This has directly impacted F3 Gastonia as Slaw’s 2.0 is a prior recipient of the award.
  • In 2020, F3 Gastonia PAX, M’s and 2.0’s accounted for over 1/3 of the total participants.
  • In 2020, F3 Gastonia had 6 PAX place in the Top 10 overall with Gold Digger taking 1st Overall. Tiger’s M was also the Top Female and we had multiple PAX medal in their age divisions.
  • 9am start on September 25th which means you can still post at your favorite Saturday AO and make it to the race.
  • Multiple sponsorship opportunities for companies or individuals who would like to donate. $100 sponsorship will get your logo on the race t-shirt and if you’re interested please see Sister Act or Broke for the forms.

  • Race location: Common Ground 5481 Hickory Grove Road, Stanley, NC 28164

This is a great opportunity to support the region and also enjoy some fellowship with your F3 brothers. You don’t have to be a runner, come out and walk or ruck, or just hang out at the F3 tent and support your brothers. I hope to see you there!
