Gates Presbyterian Church (GPC) is hosting the 2nd Annual Clinker Bricks 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, July 28 at 9 a.m. This is a family-oriented event for runners and walkers of all abilities. The USATF Certified 5K (3.1 miles) course is very flat and fast through a quiet residential neighborhood in the town of Gates. The Westside Pediatric Group is the presenting sponsor of this year’s event, which will start and end at Gates Presbyterian Church. PCR Timing (www.pcr-timing.com) is providing computerized race results for the event, which is sanctioned by the USATF.
The annual event takes its name from the brick walls of Gates Presbyterian Church, which are called “clinker” bricks because they were rejected by masons as being imperfect or defective.
Awards and refreshments will be provided immediately following the race. In addition to the 5K Run/Walk, there will be a free children’s quarter mile Fun Run. New for this year will be a Pancake Brunch immediately following the race at 10 a.m.
The event registration form, entrance fee, awards information and additional race information, including sponsorship opportunities, are available on the church web site (www.gatespres.org).
