This very first 5K race will be run in Texarkana, this Saturday, September 26th, 9:00 AM at Spring Lake Park.

The Race, which will benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance, a 501c3 not-for-profit organization, is of personal importance to employees of Newk’s Eatery in Texarkana. Lori Newcombe, the wife of Newk’s company owner Chris Newcombe, was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer in 2013. Sadly, Lori passed away last year. So this race means much to the company and it’s employees.

Ovarian cancer is now the fifth leading cause of death in women. The color teal signifies ovarian cancer, on ribbons and other decorations.
