The Annual Cinco de Mayo 5k/10k Road Race is a Fayetteville Tradition since 2002 Our Cinco de Mayo event started in Ceiba, Puerto Rico May 5th 2001. Bragg. Julito
Soon after that we were stationed back in Ft. We had our Fayetteville Inaugural event in 2002. In 2003, due to the 100th Anniversary of the Wright's Brothers Festival of Flight in Fayetteville the event was temporarily moved to Ft. We went back to Fayetteville in 2003 and since then we have had more then $1000 dollars in cash prizes. In 2008 again we went back to Ft. Bragg returning back to Fayett
eville. In 2005 we started doing the Cinco de Mayo 5K one day prior in Ft. Finally in 2012, we decided to combined both events in the same day. Since then, we have been having over 800 runners and now we have over $2000 dollars in cash prizes. In 2007, we added the name of one of our sponsors to the event and it became the John E. Norman Cinco de Mayo 10K & 5K. John is one of the owners of More then Just Art a real good plaque business on Yadkin Rd., John and his family have been supporting the event since the inaugural event in Puerto Rico by providing the initial awards to our runners. In 2013, we canceled the event due to my "Julito" was diagnosed with Leukemia, well this is when our Ft. Bragg RWB and the FRC came through and organized a CInco Leukemia Awareness 5K Fun Run where I became the recipient of close to $2000 dollars that supported me and my family through these tough times. I'm currently in complete remission and I also received a Bone Marrow Transplant in August 11th 2014 and I'am ready to get this event for you and your family in 2015. Our event in the last fourteen years have supported the SWTG FRC Program, the family of John E. Norman, and numerous other non-profit organizations. In 2015 we will support our local Chapter RWB and the FRC. Please come down and support our event.. We will have lots of food, cash prizes, choo choo trains for kids, bouncers.
