March 10th- 5K Run

Last Saturday morning VARC members gathered to support the Azalea City Festival 5K run. Because of the help from the VARC the event went off with out any major issues and everyone running made it through the course safely. And the weather was just perfect for both the run and the festival. This will be the last run or ride event until the Honeybee festival this fall. Hope you will come and help out then. A big thanks to Ed, Matt, and Micheal for their support with the 5K!
