The Kiwanis Club of Pike County held its first 5K Dash and Dine Sept. 18, at the former middle school at 9 a.m. While 19 runners took part in the race, many citizens in the community supported the club with participation in breakfast and raffles.
Community members run up Highway 19 as part of the Pike County Kiwanis Club's first annual 5K Dash and Dine.
Community dashes, dines
In the 5K race, Malcolm Williams received first place in the men's category and Christina Pruitt received first in the women's category.
"I'm a member of the Kiwanis Club in Thomaston," said Williams. "I came to support the Pike Chapter."
The Kiwanis Club expects to raise an estimate of $1,000 from the 5K Dash and Dine. "Our purpose is to help children in the county. The proceeds from the race and breakfast will do so." said Maxedon.

i'm all for these sorts of things; however, someone should review the safety rules for the runners.
i encountered this group and they were running taking up both sides of the road. they need to be told that you run in the lane facing traffic. i would hate for someone doing such a great service to be injured.
be safe!!
