Each spring, on the first Saturday in May, Regency Athletic Club sponsors a day of running races. This year's race will be held on Saturday, May 5th 2007. Each year's race day is comprised of 3 events: an opening 1-mile walk (actually 1.14 miles) followed by a 5-kilometer (3.107 miles) running race and culminated by a 200-meter tot trot.

Our 5K race is a proud member of the Eastern Carolina Corporate Road Race Series. This is a series of six 5K road races featuring corporate team competition. The competition is open to corporate teams in North Carolina, east of the Orange-Alamance county line. All team members must be full-time employees of the company they represent and must work at the company's place of business within the eligible territory. There are 3 divisions: men, womean, and master (40 and older). Eligible teams will be scored in these three divisions regardless of which division they might run in a particular race. The top 5 men, women, and masters teams in each race will score as follows:

• 1st place - 10 points
• 2nd place - 8 points
• 3rd place - 6 points
• 4th place - 4 points
• 5th place - 2 points
• 1 point each for every other team that finishes (for participation).

At the conclusion of the series, the top four men, top four women, and top four masters teams will receive awards as follows:

• 1st place - $80 plus the corporate cup
• 2nd place - $50 plus a plaque
• 3rd place - $35 plus a plaque
• 4th place - A plaque

We are proud to be a part of this exciting race series in Eastern North Carolina, and we certainly hope that you and your organization consider participating in it.
