2nd Annual FSB 5K Run/Walk
On October 1st, 2011 the Fighting Saints Battalion hosted the Second Annual FSB 5K run/walk in the beautiful St. John's Arboretum. "The Arboretum is the perfect place to go for a run! The 5K had such a positive atmosphere as the runners and walkers were getting ready to set off!" reports Cadet Mollie Holte, an ROTC participant and winner of the overall female category with a time of 20:44. The 5K run provided a great leadership opportunity for Cadets, as well as a way for the community to become more actively involved in an Army ROTC event. Many participants were friends and family members of Cadets participating in the ROTC program.
Race day began with upbeat music, snacks, beverages and a lively crowd of participants. Following the singing of our National Anthem, over 180 runners/walkers took off into the course. Age groups ranged from 12 and below, to 60+! All participants received a race bag and a Fighting Saints Battalion 5K t-shirt. Additionally, first and second place winners in various age groups received metals. The winners of overall male and female categories won both a trophy and a gift certificate. Connor Gjevre from Clearwater, MN took the overall male title with a time of 16:50. A lot of hard work and preparation went into the organization of the event. Thank you to all our supporters, sponsors and participants that contributed its success!
