Team Kyle will be participating in the Beech Mountain Parks and Recreation – A Cool 5 charity race traversing across the top of Beech Mountain – Eastern America’s highest town at 5506ft. – on Saturday June 6th, 2009 at 9:00am. The five mile run and accompanying fun run will be open to runners and walkers of all ages and skill levels.

 Many runners, walkers, and cyclists specifically make the journey to Beech Mountain for high altitude training.  The mountain is remembered for Lance Armstrong Tour Du Pont stage win during the mid 1990’s and remains a playground for outdoor enthusiasts and endurance athletes.

A Cool 5 will benefit the construction of a new community playground at Buckeye Lake and the Buckeye Recreation Center. The playground will truly be a “community playground” as it will be built entirely from the help of volunteers and community members. The playground is a monumental undertaking for a small community such as Beech Mountain, but with the fundraising help from events like “A Cool 5”, we will be able to achieve our goal for the community of Beech Mountain.
