Celebrating Mom Step By Step By Chelsea Peifer
Organizing a successful race takes a village of enthusiastic volunteers, and the members of the Elizabethtown Rotary Club are all set to provide an abundance of cheer for the annual Mother’s Day 5K on Sunday, M a y 12. Registration and packet pickup will open at 1:30 p.m., with the race stepping off at 3 p.m. in the Veterans Grove area of Masonic Village, 1 Masonic Drive, Elizabethtown. According to Rotarian and event organizer Dan Brill, the event is a community celebration of all mothers.
All mothers in attendance, whether participants or spectators, will receive a complimentary flower. “Our goal is to honor moms in a healthy and fun way on their day,” Brill said. “We understand it can be a busy day and not everyone can fit it in their schedule. We do keep to a strict schedule and start promptly at 3 p.m. and have all the awards and prizes handed out by 4:15 p.m. so families can still make it to dinner with Mom.” “Last year we had over 100 participants for the first time, and we hope to build on that again this year,” stated Brill.
