2019 Black Friday Dash Results
Wouldn’t a race on the day after Thanksgiving be a great idea? We thought so too! Avoid the shopping crowds, sleep in, and then dash in to join us for the Annual Black Friday Dash! This is a Family Fun event that provides something for all ages! There will be entertainment from various organizations, beer coupons for participants, music and an awards ceremony.
Starting at Waterline Brewery and then winding along the Cape Fear River, through downtown Wilmington, turning at the new Pier 33 and then ending back at Waterline Brewery, this professionally managed and timed 5K is a new local tradition.
About the Cause
The Black Friday Dash is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Wilmington West, a 501(c)4 organization. The main objective of Rotary is service – in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today’s most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. The mission of the Rotary Club of Wilmington West is “Service Above Self”. This race supports the local Rotary International Club and the many non-profits and causes to whom they provide donations and manpower throughout the year.
Please come out and support your neighbors through participation in this fun event as a runner or sponsor!
