PANERA BREAD REPEATS AS TITLE SPONSOR OF THE BUCKS 5K SERIES

Dear Runners,

Panera Bread and the Bucks 5K Series are continuing their partnership
to bring the best 5K races to the local running community. The
Panera Bread Bucks 5K Series opens with the Central Bucks Family YMCA
5K on March 22, 2009. The remainder of the schedule is posted on
www.bucks5kseries.com.

In addition to Panera Bread, our title sponsor, we are pleased to
announce the following additional sponsors: Univest, TrainingZone
Sports, Marvic Supply Company, Advanced Health & Performance Center,
Hall Family Chiropractic, and Quigley Cold-Eeze. We encourage you to
support these sponsors whenever possible. Without them, it would be
impossible to stage the best races in the area, and, at the same
time, raise money for our seven important local causes. As you
probably know, 4000 runners and these sponsors helped raise more than
$100,000 in 2008.

If you or your business would like to become a Series sponsor, please
contact me at www.bucks5kseries.com.

With registration now open, we are pleased that we're already have
more runners than last year at this time. Our announcement of the
three new courses has been received with great enthusiasm. If your
aim is the Broad Street Run, one of several excellent half marathons,
or a fall marathon, why don't you incorporate the Panera Bread Bucks
5K Series into your training program?

Here's wishing you a peaceful, prosperous, and fit 2009!

Dick Patterson
