🏅 Thank you to one of our Finisher Medal Sponsors!

We’re grateful to State House Representative Rob Leverett for supporting the inaugural Field to Fiber 5K as a Finisher Medal Sponsor.

As a member of the Georgia House Agriculture & Consumer Affairs Committee, Rep. Leverett understands the importance of agriculture to our state and the communities that help it thrive. His support is especially meaningful for a race celebrating the journey from Georgia’s cotton fields to the fiber we use every day.

Thanks to our Finisher Medal Sponsors, every in-person participant who crosses the finish line will receive a special medal commemorating their accomplishment!

🏃‍♀️ Day 1 is in the books! 🏃‍♂️🎉

Our Couch to 5K crew officially kicked off their 8-week journey tonight — and they absolutely crushed their first session! 👟

We ran. We walked. We learned about hydration. 💧 We discovered that 60 seconds can, in fact, feel considerably longer than 60 seconds. 😂 And most importantly, we showed up and got started!

Over the next seven weeks, we’ll build endurance, learn a few things, cheer each other on, and probably question whose idea this was at least once or twice. 😆

It all leads to the Field to Fiber 5K on October 24! 🌱🏁

One workout down. Seven weeks to go. Way to go, crew — we’re officially on our way! ❤️
