2010 Coles 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run and Walk

Steady rain and overcast conditions did not keep away over 150 registered runners and walkers from participating the the Coles 5K and 1 Mile Walk and Fun Run. The event is designed to promote health and fitness in the local Coles community of Prince William County. Many local vendors contributed to the event making a great success. Mack Mulhall and Kiley Smith finished in the lead for the 1 Mile Walk and Fun Run. A big congratulations goes to the many 1 Mile Finishers in less than ideal conditions.
