The Faith Run at Atlanta
WSN Network

Alpharetta, Georgia: Affiliated to the United Sikhs, the team of Sikhs including both Kaurs and Singhs participated in a 5K Fun Run held at Alpharetta, Georgia. The Sikhs for Fitness team joined the St. Francis School of Georgia to participate in the event which was organized to support a worthy cause - the children’s foster home of Georgia.

It was the first 5K run in the USA for all the Sikh runners. All of the participants were in their 30s and 40s. The morning of the 5K Fun Run was a chilly one. The temperatures dropped unexpectedly due to a cold wind moving from the northeast. Atlantans are not used to 30 degree F and cold winds in mid-March. However, each of the Sikh runners completed the race and one won the second place (call it beginner’s luck or attribute it to the weather)! The three Singhs were generous enough to let the three Kaurs finish ahead of them.
