Pride of Kinston - Your Source for Downtown Information

As we work on plans for the 2011 Run for the River, we thought you would like to see a profile of the 1st five years of the event, information shared with the Outdoor Events Team yesterday. The aim is to build opportunities to bring people to our downtown...and it would seem we are achieving that goal with the help of a lot of people: runners, sponsors, volunteers, City of Kinston Public Safety and Public Services and Parks & Recreation.
