80th birthday party at the Capitol City Classic 10K

[Karen Hayes]

If you train with the LR Marathon group or run some of our other local races, you probably know Jack Mayberry. He's 79, deaf, very outgoing.

April 6th, is Jack's 80th birthday. He's planning to run the Capitol City Classic 10K. Several friends are planning to run it with him, at his pace. We're hoping as many folks as possible run with him, run him in after they finish, come to the sidelines to cheer him on, or meet him at the finish line. It's a very loosely organized party, so add anything you can - a sign, a birthday card, or just yourself. It's not a surprise, but I think Jack will be surprised just how many friends he has.

Whatever you do, DON'T slow him down! He's very competitive and he wants to beat his time from last year. 1:21.

Hope to see you there!
