Unlimited Performance 5K 4th Annual Run was June 4, 2011The 4th annual Unlimited Performance Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine 5K Charity run was held on Saturday, June 4. Despite a hot and humid day, 184 registered runners and walkers took part in the 3.1 mile event. This event was a charity run/walk that raised approximately $2,300 with this being matched by KCH for a donation of $4,600 to the DeKalb County Chapter of the American Red Cross. The overall winner was Nathan Eagen of DeKalb with a time of 17:58. The female winner was Barbora Cervenkova of Lilburn, Georgia who finished 15th overall with a time of 21:27. Although the event was very competitive for a number of runners, it was also meant for each individual to test their personal fitness abilities. The number of runners ranged in age from 8 to 72. All runners received a goody bag and t-shirt prior to the run and were treated to post race food, water, stretching, massage and a number of raffle prizes. “The local community has been very generous with financial sponsorships, product donations, time and effort that has allowed us to present age group awards, raffle prizes and post race food and drink for all competitors and the approximately 50 volunteers,” said Chris Laurent, Unlimited Performance athletic trainer and race director. “Due to the strong support we get from both the local community and Kishwaukee Community Hospital we have been able to make this event a success each year, for this the staff at Unlimited Performance Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine would like to thank all those who helped,” Chris said. Results and pictures are posted on the Unlimited Performance web site at www.unlimitedperformance.org.
