Pointe South at the Perdido KEYmunity Gumbo Run

On September 7th, 2013, the Perdido Bay United Methodist Church (BPUMC) and Barberi Heating and Air held the 1st Annual Perdido KEYmunity 5K Gumbo Run.  The 3.1 mile run/walk route was on Innerarity Point Road and brought together community members, athletes, families, and friends.  The run was set up to accommodate timing for athletes, while also inviting and fun for families.  And for a little extra excitement, a Krazy Kidz Run was setup to bring new adventure to the younger participants.

Operations Manager for Pointe South Residential Leasing, Tracy Jackson, completed the 5K.  Her two daughters, Kaylee (12) and Marissa (16) volunteered to help with the Krazy Kidz obstacles and youngest daughter, Kaylee, joined her mom at the 5K finish line (pictured below).  Tracy said the event was a success and she plans on attending in the years to come.
