Anyone wanting to celebrate the new year can run a 5K.
Mary Michels-Cole and Lisa Jones appeared on KHOZ's "Around The Table" to discuss the Happy Harrison New Year's Day 5k. The event starts at 9:30 a.m. The event will kick off at the Anstaff soccer complex. Running isn't required; participants are welcome to walk the 5K.
After lots of travel to events together, Michels-Cole said she had the idea to host one in Harrison. She and Jones want to make the event free. They just ask people to show up.
Anyone who participates will get black eyed peas and cornbread. Michels-Cole said attendees can also enjoy coffee and hot chocolate.
Michels-Cole explained that she and Jones have been running together for about 15 years. "We like to do races. We like to do events," she said, adding that it's "fun to move together." She went on to state that they once had a big running club.
Michels-Cole said the group was like therapy, and she highlighted the importance of moving. More was discussed on the broadcast.
The full interview with Michels-Cole and Jones is available on the "Around The Table" Facebook page.
