OCCOQUAN, Va. — On a cold February morning, the first Frigid 5K Run was held in Occoquan.
Area residents and runners filled the streets in the tiny village on Feb. 23 for the inaugural run to benefit the Optimist Club of the Occoquan, Woodbridge, and Neabsco districts in Prince William County.
The race was promoted by the Neabsco Action Alliance and was billed as a way to bring community together.
“NAA wants to be part of anything that’s good for our community. You know I work with everyone,” stated NAA President Connie Moser in an email.
Occoquan Mayor Earnie Porta and a host of sponsors also helped to promote the event.
The results of the races are below:
