5K Run/Walk - What-A-Melon Crawl

July 14th, 2012 at 7:00 a.m. not only marked the initiation of a new event at the annual What-A-Melon Festival but also marked the official start of the What-A-Melon Crawl .  In spite of the damp weather, over 300 runners young and old showed up ready to run or walk. To get things running, the 1K kids fun run kicked off on the downtown center square with Alex Jones finishing in 1st place and then Arya Vyas in 2nd place.  In the 5K Run/Walk, Robert Smith was the first male runner to cross the finish with a time of 00:17:48.  A little over six minutes later, Destiny Bellamy finished with a time of 00:23:45 giving her the distinction of being the first female finisher.  The event was hosted by the Rotary Club of Center and all proceeds benefited the Shelby County Children’s Advocacy Center.
