My name is Julio C. Ramírez and I'm the Race Director for the Fayetteville Annual Cinco de Mayo 10K Road Race. I also directed the 400 Mile Foot-March in memory of 9-11 conducted in the island of Puerto Rico in 2002. Puerto Rico was the home of the first Cinco de Mayo 10K. I am native from Linares, Nuevo Leon Mexico and after moving to the USA I came to the famous windy city, Chicago Ill. My goal is to run these events annually. With your help and contribution we can make it happen "SI SE PUEDE". I changed the name of my race to "The John E. Norman Cinco de Mayo 10K". John passed away in 2005 and he and his family have contributed time after time to my event. We will keep this name in his memory and every year I will donate 20% of the proceeds to his family. Thanks John, I know you out there watching us. Trivia: The Cinco de Mayo 10K is the first race ever in Historic Downtown Fayetteville, NC. The Cinco de Mayo was the first race to use Championchip Timing and the first one to give cash prizes to top runners. Thanks MIKE. If your organization has any potential runners and would be interested in participating in our event, please let us know. In the past we have had our event in Bragg & Fayetteville. For 2009 we are going back to downtown to a new USA Track & Filed certified route.
