“This was a great activity to get my family out of the house,” said Basic Skills Education Teacher, Tami Porter. “The weather was beautiful and sunny for the first part of our walk, then rainy and exciting for the second half. We chose to walk the Nampa greenbelt to Wilson Ponds. Thanks for organizing this.’ 

“It was a little challenging at first not having done a 5k in years, but at the end, I loved it,” said Human Resources Coordinator, Toen Phothisane. “It got my blood pumping and legs moving. Mother Nature helped keep us cool with the light rain – it was like she knew we needed that extra encouragement. Great idea team.”
