Thanks to all the participants, volunteers and sponsors of the 2016 EA5K!  Congratulations to all our finishers, category winners and our overall winner, Calvin Bannister, who provided his reflections below:

“The EA5K was special in that it created an opportunity for all of us, who are otherwise strangers, to join together and support a mission we believe in. In many ways, the event itself mirrored the partners and networks through which Empowering Action accomplishes its work, as there’s a place for everyone’s abilities: volunteers, runners, virtual runners, donors etc. We were each able to play our own part, and that’s what makes this 5k an event one that I’ll be sure to remember!” – Calvin Bannister, 2016 EA5K Overall Winner
