BDP5K 6 Multi-Media News Release March 23, 2017 BRIDGEWATER- For Bridgewater and its surrounding towns, one prominent event that many attend is the annual Bridgewater firework show. This event would not be possible without the support of town members. This year, the 4th annual Bridgewater Police Department 5K will donate proceeds to this fund. The run will take place on September 30, 2017 and starts at 9:00 AM. The BPD5K has been a local race that was started as a way to incorporate community bonding and bring a positive light to the view of police officers. Matron Rebekah Caylor is a prominent face behind the scenes of what has made this event so special to the Bridgewater towns people. She says, “The BPD5K is a community outreach event which allows members of the town to get to know police officers. It is an opportunity to meet the officers and see them beyond their job.” As a Matron and runner herself, this event is very near and dear to her. Prior to the race, a 9-week Couch to 5K program is offered for runners who need to build their stamina or those who have no running experience at all, but wish to participate in the event. This program is free and meets three nights a week. It starts and ends at the Bridgewater Police Station. The program will begin the week of the 4th of July. To kick off the race weekend, the team, as Rebekah referred to those who volunteer to help prepare for the run, arrange a pasta dinner for those participating in the run. Runners and their families are welcome to the Bridgewater senior center where they can pick up their registration packets and enjoy a nice meal before the big day. The pasta dinner is $5 per person. On the day of the race, runners who have not yet received their registration packets are asked to come and get those before the race so that they can be timed. On race day, Rebekah described a series of events that occur. She explained how many local businesses reached out to assist in their pre-run preparation, one of which being Crossfit, a local gym, who volunteered their time to help runners warm up for the race. She also explained how the chief personally gets involved in the run as well. “In 2016, we had almost 100% participation because the race is so ingrained in the community and ties in with Autumn Fest,” said Rebekah. The race is a community centered event. She explained how many of Bridgewater’s main streets are shut down for the race, which brings the community together, face-to-face, during that time. Not only does the community support the race in their attendance, but also with their 4/21/17
