Hey everyone! Have you ever been to the Tanger Outlets in Locust Grove? It’s a great place to shop; it has all the latest styles and trends at remarkable prices! You won’t see these unbelievable prices on name brand items in any mall, I’ll tell you that. The biggest ‘yes’ factor is that the outlet is only about 10 minutes from the Amber Chase Apartment Community! How amazing is that; all of this shopping right in your backyard!

Along with great shopping, Tanger Oulets encourages families to get fit! In October, they will be hosting their 2nd Annual Fit For Families 5K Run/Walk in Locust Grove. Their aim is to bring people together this fall to promote and encourage a happy, healthy lifestyle, and to fight breast cancer. Proceeds from the race will benefit the American Cancer Society.

The race is a timed 5K (3.1 mile) run, which begins at Tanger and ends at Tanger, after going off site, on October 9, 2010. Everyone who finishes the race will receive a medal, and those who pre-register will receive a race pack which includes a commemorative race t-shirt, Tanger shopping discounts and other goodies. Prizes will be awarded to division winners as well as the top 3 male and top 3 female winners.

I know that the race is over a month away, but I think this is prime time for you to seriously consider it. That way, you can start training for it much sooner. The registration fee is only $25, and online registration ends October 7th. This is sure to be great fun (for those who like marathons), and a chance to help a worthy cause.
