New Website: We have a new website for 2010. Visit www.sweetheart5k.com to get started. The RMEC is my pilot group, s0 please share any feedback about the site if you notice any errors.

Couple Division: The Sweetheart 5k has a unique couples competition that allows runners to combine times and compete against other couples to find the “fastest couple in eastern North Carolina”. Last year 41 couples competed. We would love to see even more in 2010!

Sponsors Needed: As with all races, we are seeking out sponsors to help put on the race. I really need the help of the RMEC if you know of any potential sponsors. Please take time to review the sponsor page. If you know any local businesses share this information with them, or feel free to let me know their contact information, and I can send them a package. I need to nail these down quickly so we can go to print with the race brochures. Thank you.

Proceeds: The event proceeds will stay local. Proceeds from the Sweetheart 5K will benefit the Rocky Mount Friends of Little League Baseball, Inc. The RMFLLB support the Rocky Mount Parks and Recreation Department Athletic Division Youth Sport programs by providing funding for athletic equipment, supplies, and facility.
