Panthers on the RUN

Panthers on the RUN is Forest Park's first ever running club. A committed group of 14 students have dedicated themselves to pushing their limits by training for a 5 kilometer (3.1 miles or 3 and one tenths of a mile). The running club meets every Friday for an hour to improve their physical fitness by running around our beloved Forest Park. The students will compete in their first 5k on the campus of Wake Forest University in Wake The Library 5k on October 9th.
