Sixth Annual Reindeer Run A Success!

Registrations for the sixth annual Active Chatham Reindeer Run 5K increased by nearly 50% from the 2009 race! Just over 190 runners and walkers signed up to participate in the 3.1 mile race on December 11, 2010 through downtown Pittsboro.

The overall winner was Jack Morgan from Pittsboro. The top female finisher was Yasmin Noel from Sanford. Staff from local schools competed in a new category for this year’s race. JS Waters fielded the fastest team and Silk Hope School had the most team members. Multiple other schools also participated in some way.

Following the race, approximately15 children completed the one-mile Rudolph Fun Run. At the end of the run, kids were greeted by Santa and one of his reindeer, Rudolph.

Megan Bolejack, health educator with the Chatham County Public Health Department stated, “This race wouldn’t be possible without all of our wonderful partners and sponsors. And a special thanks to our more than 40 volunteers for their willingness to come out on a cold Saturday morning.”

Great job to all the runners and walkers for being active during the holiday season!

Proceeds for the race will go towards improving physical activity resources in Pittsboro.
