Run DJD Competes at Color and Seedorf-McMeekin Memorial Runs
Run DJD, the running team sponsored by D’Arcy Johnson Day, competed in events the past two weekends.
On September 1, 2012, 7 adults, and 2 children from Run DJD took part in The Color Run in Englishtown, New Jersey. The unique 5k run involves runners being splattered with different colors of a natural and safe paint-like substance.
The following weekend, on September 8, 2012, 9 adults and 27 children took part in the 8th Annual Seedorf-McMeekin Memorial Run on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The 5k run, 1 mile fun run, and 2 mile fun bike ride are held in honor of Firefighter Seedorf and Police Officer McMeekin, both of whom lost their lives in the line of duty. D’Arcy Johnson Day was proud to be a sponsor of the event, and congratulates all the runners from Run DJD for taking part in this great event.
