| On Saturday morning members from both DTVFD and D-TRS joined numerous other departments for the 3rd Annual Kyle Wilson memorial Run/Walk for Fitness.
Around 7:00 AM runners began to show for the registration and the 8:00 AM 10k run. Shortly afterwards the walking groups showed up for the 9:00 registration and 10:00 AM walk.
The weather was perfect as hundreds turned out for the event. Ceremonies began with the 2010 winner of the KWM Scholarship which was presented by Kyle Wilson's father and George Mason University. This year's recipient was EMT Miller from DCVFD.
Moments later the crowd was brought to tears as Kyle's sister gave a heartfelt statement in remembrance of her brother as her family stood behind her.
Many walked, ran, and strolled as PWC Police officers directed traffic and cheered on the participants. PWCF&R also provided support during the day's activities.
The festivities ended around 1:30 PM with several local food vendors, raffles, and activities for the children.
This year's "Pack the Track" event was a huge success and we are already looking forward to next year. |
