Chapman University 5K Run

On October 23, 2010 I volunteered at The Chapman University 5K Run/Walk to benefit charity. The event started at 7 am and we were there at the starting line to cheer on the runners as they began this long and grueling race. After the run started we moved to the finish line where we greeted the runners after they finished the race. When we greeted them we also gave them medals engraved with the logo of the race on it. It was very exciting to see the runners' faces after finishing a long run like this one because they are overcome with a feeling of pride because they finished the race. I really enjoyed this project because it allowed me to meet a bunch of new people and it encouraged me to try and possibly run a marathon one day in the future.
