font-family:Arial'>I just wanted to bring to your attention that the Ocean
Pines Recreation Department has teamed up with Chris Klebe & OCtriRunning Design
Team to help host two great 5k events this summer. Both of them will be
released to the public in the next few weeks but registration is already open
and we encourage your team to get involved. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The first event (flyer attached) is our 4<sup>th</sup> of
July OPA Freedom 5K which proceeds will help support the “Home of the
Brave Inc.” We are truly excited about this event which we are trying
to have a strong patriotic feel. Runners will receive wrist bands to the
other 4<sup>th</sup> of July events that day. The race will be at the
Ocean Pines South Gate Pond.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>The second event will be Labor Day weekend. We are
going to have a Country Foods Festival on September 1<sup>st</sup> and to help
kick the event off we again teamed with OCtriRunning to host the Dirt Road Dash
5k. This race will be at White Horse Park in Ocean Pines and will dip in
and out of the woods on dirt roads and beaten trails. This is a truly
unique race that OCtriRunning’s Chris Klebe is really excited about.
Racers will enter the festival for free. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
