The 6th Annual 5K Run/ Walk and 1K Kid Fun Run was held in Beaumont, TX on September 19, 2015 at Terrell Park.

This was the starting area for the days events. It was a nice, laid back, family friendly event.

Here runners, friends and family were able to sign up for the Be A Match program. I was able to fairly quickly. Just a little bit of time out of your day could mean a great deal to others.

There was a nice balloon release for those who have been affected by cancer. There were a few very special speakers on hand as well.

The balloons were nice to see in the morning light.

We all gathered for the start along the course where we could circle back to finish at.

Iram Leon was in attendance and won the event. Here he is passing me on his way back to the finish. Take some time to check out the story that ESPN did about him and his journey.

Having fun running back towards the finish line.

This was a great event that I regret not participating in sooner. I look forward to being back next year.
