We had an amazing time this past Saturday at The Journey 5K (4th Annual!)! We are SO GRATEFUL to be a part of this amazing event that has come to feel as much like a family reunion as it does a 5K🧡🩷 Over $30,000 was raised to support women's wellness with portions donated to Levine Cancer Institute and Sisters in Partnership to support breast cancer research and treatments. It takes a village, and we're so proud to be a part of this one!
Special thanks to very important parts of our village, Finish Well Timing and Frank Liske Park!

It's always difficult to make the decision to cancel a race. We know our swimmers have worked hard, trained hard and looked forward to this event. But seeing updates from Duke Energy tells us we made the right decision. Stay safe out there and STAY AWAY FROM THE RIVER! We'll see you at the next race!
