Ada Jenkins Fire 5k on April 17

There are still spots left in the 2nd annual Ada Jenkins Center Fire 5k, scheduled for April 17th, 2010.    The Ada Jenkins Center in Davidson provides health, education and human services to citizens in northern Mecklenburg and southern Iredell counties, through programs including  Loaves & Fishes, a free medical clinic and a low-cost after-school program.

This year, the race starts at 10 a.m., so when runners finish they will be first in line for the barbecue plate that they will receive as part of their reward.  The barbecue is open to the pubic from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
