The 4th Annual I-Drive 5K Run in May 2006 was a great success.  With more than 665 registered participants, a 10% increase from last year, $14,500 will be donated to the YMCA Aquatic & Family Center Scholarship Fund.  This is a major increase from the $4,000 raised in 2005.

 

The 3.1-mile course took runners (and walkers!) through the heart of the International Drive Resort area.  Prizes included I-Drive Fun Packages with attraction tickets, gift certificates, merchandise and more!  A commemorative t-shirt was given to each runner along with gift bags of merchandise and special offers from Orlando's tourism and hospitality community.  Free massages were provided by Florida College of Natural Health.  Proceeds from the run benefit the International Drive YMCA Aquatic & Family Center Scholarship Fund.
