Palmer College Paint The Towne 5K • November 2, 2008 • 8:00am

Mark your calendar now and notice the change of date.  November 2, 2008  will mark the 3rd annual Palmer College Paint The Towne 5K, Toddler Trot, Kiddie Dash & Kids K, all held at beautiful Jackie Robinson Ballpark on City Island.  The certified 5K has been named the RRCA  Florida State 5K Championship and will loop through historic old Daytona.  We are really happy to announce the race will be held the same weekend as the Halifax Art Festival!  How cool is that?  Paint The Towne and the art festival!   The race will continue to be held the first weekend in November to coincide with the Halifax Art Festival. A very special Thank You to local artist,  Susan Bottaro, for painting the beautiful art work for our race.  Susan is well known for her beautiful and charming art pieces of downtown Daytona.  Be sure to visit Susan's booth at the Halifax Art Festival after the race.  You will also have the opportunity to meet our 2008 Scholarship recipients.

We are so thankful and appreciative to have the many sponsors that have stepped forward in support of our race.  Palmer College is returning for the third year as our primary sponsor.  It is a pleasure to be involved with Palmer Chiropractic College as they continue to be very involved in our community and with the Beachcombers. The Daytona Cubs have again, opened up their facilities to the Beachcombers for use for this event.  We could not ask for a more beautiful venue nor nicer folks to work with.  Florida Lifestyle Homes & The Sullivan Family again are one of our major sponsors.  The Sullivan family portray the very epitome of family and running.  They are the spirit, the heart and soul of running in our community and set a shining example to others.  Our excitement is to have Brown & Brown and Coastal Oncology, Kathleen B. Doughney, M.D., move up to our Gold Sponsorship level.   Southern Paint continues with us and will
