5k-run-pic-300 The 12th Annual Sopchoppy Worm Gruntin' Festival was held this past weekend in downtown Sopchoppy, Florida - as always on the second Saturday in April. (Mark your calendars!) This year's festival had the return of the 5K Race and we had an unbelievable turnout. We had a total of 111 runners ranging from 8 year old Molly Jones to 80 year old Larry Luchi.

Our goal was to have 100 runners and we exceeded that number very unexpectedly. Consequently, we are already preparing for the 2013 Worm Gruntin 5K Race and would like to invite all of our runners to plan to participate and help us meet our goal of 150+ runners next year.

The race went very well with all runners finishing the race and with no accidents. Unfortunately, only 50% of our awards arrived for recognizing the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place runners -- and we offer sincere apologies to our runners for this mishap. For our 2013 race, the finish line will be the same as this year's starting line to allow all of our runners and spectators to remain in downtown Sopchoppy and enjoy the runners crossing the finish line.

I would like to extend a very special "Thank You" to all of our sponsors, volunteers, and runners. Our major sponsors were Brooks Concrete and Backwoods Bistro, who funded a greater portion of the race expenses. Our refreshments were donated by Winn Dixie, and the runners thoroughly enjoyed the cases of oranges, bananas, and apples at the end of the race. Thanks also to Walmart and Walgreens for donating the bottled water for rehydrating our runners. We appreciate each and every one of our supporters and donors.

We would also like to thank our many volunteers who showed up at 7:30 am to help register runners, hand out t-shirts, set up our race equipment, organize our runners, tabulate results and hand out awards. Congratulations to all of our runners and thank you for supporting our 2012 Worm Gruntin' 5K Race. We hope to see you back next year - with a friend - for a bigger and better race!
