The RittenhouseTown Papermill Run 5K remained rain free and was a fun event for all involved. Congratulations to the staff at RittenhouseTown for another successful event. The threat of rain or downed trees on the course did not stop the race from happening. G-town Radio was proud to be associated with this year's event and looks forward to working with them again. G-town Radio had a strong showing at the race. Programmers Dave Walk (C vs. A Radio Hour) and Jim Bear (Neu-Matic) ran the race in addition to several local G-town Fans. See more pictures after the jump. |
