n Saturday, April 8, Navy Federal Credit Union held its 8th Annual 5K Run/
Walk. During this event, Navy Federal Credit Union promotes the health and
wellness of its employees, members and residents of our local community.
The Navy Federal 5K Run/Walk was held in Pensacola with a course that
meanders through downtown. The runners all gathered at Seville Quarter, beginning the event
by discussing the route under a huge infl ated start/fi nish line marker. Contestants then traveled
down Palafox to Romana St. down to Bayfront Parkway and Palafox Pier and fi nished back at
Seville Quarter. The MC for this event was Cat Country’s own Brent Lane, who kept track of
the fi nish time for contestants and made announcements.
The race also offered runners post-race refreshments and entertainment, as well as a water
station mid race. The proceeds from this event will be donated to local 501(c)(3) charities,
including Achieve Escambia. Sponsors of the event were Cat Country 98.7 FM and NEWS
