The Eggleston OK5K
The Eggleston OK5K to benefit Eggleston Services was held June 12, 2010 at Mt. Trashmore and attracted over 200 runners in its first year and included a 1 mile event as well. The weather was warm and humid as runners started the course which took them around Lake Trashmore two times. The course was flat and fast, and runners clocked impressive times.
After the race runners were treated to a post-race breakfast of soft tacos courtesy of Machismo Burrito bar, and Eggleston employees handed out cool minty face towels to runners at the finish line.
"Everyone had a great time, and we were very pleased with the turnout; we had runners as young as 5 and as experienced as 83", said Paul Atkinson, Eggleston’s CEO.
The inaugural race winners were Steve Speirs in the men’s division with a time of 17:21, and Octavia Rinehardt for the women with a time of 17:34.
