Broad Run Grapplers and Ghouls 5K Event is Up and Running

Sponsors Set, Post Race Meeting Set, People Ready to Run

     With just a little over a month to go until the big race, the preparations are being put into place for the 1st Annual Grapplers and Ghouls Gallop on October 27th.  This 5K event is aiming to pull the Ashburn community together with the current and alumni wrestlers to help grow support for the sport of wrestling and to bring people out to get some exercise and have some fun.

     For the wrestlers, this will be the first unofficial practice of the year, as the 5K comes during the dead period for Winter sports in Virginia, which does not allow for specific sport-related practices to be held by coaches.  For alumni, it's a time to reconnect, run with some buddies, but more importantly, catch up afterwards at Glory Days Grill, who is a major sponsor of the event, along with Ben Heisler Homes.

     Runners can compete in a number of areas, either against people of a similar age - the Elementary, Middle and High School groups - or to compete against old friends and teammates - the SWAA group.  For those running in the General Public, the categories are distributed by age with awards waiting for those able to finish in the top 3 of each category.

     Adding to the fun will be the inclusion of the Best Costume Contest, which will reward the top two costumes that run the race.  Some have mentioned running in full wrestler gear, while some have expressed interest in breaking out an old costume just for the fun of it.

     The event is October 27th and starts at 9am at Broad Run HS.  Plenty of parking is avaiable and everyone is welcome to attend.  For more information or to sign up for the race visit www.prraces.com and look for the Grapplers and Ghouls graphic!!
