Tony’s on Tap to Host the 2013 BEAT THE DEADLINE 5K, September 7

Tony Horton, P90X Home Fitness workout creator and author of "Bring It!," will return as Honorary Grand Race Marshal for the National Press Club "Beat the Deadline" 5K race on Sat., Sept. 7. Registration is now open and can find more information online.

The first 5K Committee meeting is Monday at 6:30 pm in the McClendon Room. We encourage members (those who are new, especially) to get involved with this event. It’s a great way to get to meet other members and have a hand in raising funds for our organization!

Race proceeds benefit the National Press Club Journalism Institute and its ongoing mission to support the future of journalism. Since 2000, and with the help of the runners and sponsors, more than $700,000 has been awarded to deserving students to attend college and pursue careers in journalism.

Thus far Toyota, Geebo, and Dunbar Digital Armor are confirmed sponsors for the 2013 race. If your organization would like to become a sponsor or make an in-kind donation, please contact Race Director Melinda Cooke, [email protected].
