This past Sunday May 19, the Asheville JCC hosted the 2019 Falafel 5K race. MWB members Jane Sullivan, Maria Katsigianis, Chris Menjivar, Garrison Stephens and Matt Roberson participated on that warm morning.
A few of the runners even achieved champion status! Jane came in third in her age category. Matt and Chris each came in first in their age categories. Very impressive people! See race results here.
The Falafel 5K is another way for the JCC to engage with the community. It is also the only 5K race in Asheville that ends with a falafel sandwich. Yum!
Jane Sullivan “I never win anything.” This coming from the woman who won a $100 gift card to Foot Rx. See the new shoes? Winning looks good on you Jane.
Chris Menjivar “No problem.”
Matt Roberson “I got this.”
