ICE CREAM 5K 2024

Event Name: Ice Cream 5K
Location: Hollywood, Florida

162 enthusiastic runners gathered in Hollywood, Florida for a unique race that combined fitness with everyone's favorite frozen treat. The Ice Cream 5k, presented by San Bernardo Ice Cream, proved to be a delightful event that left participants with a sweet taste of victory and, of course, plenty of ice cream.

Leading the pack was none other than San Bernardo Ice Cream's very own Chris Meade. At 32 years old, Meade showed he's not just an expert in frozen desserts but also in swift feet, crossing the finish line with an impressive time of 17 minutes and 37 seconds. Talk about having your ice cream and eating it too!

The race route provided some unexpected entertainment, thanks to a police car parked right on the course. This led to some rather amusing photos that made it look like the runners were fleeing from the law. Who knew a 5k could double as an impromptu episode of "Cops"? We can assure you, though, that no runners were arrested in the making of this event - they were all just racing towards their sweet reward.

Speaking of impressive performances, we can't overlook the determination of 3-year-old Paulo Alessandro. This pint-sized powerhouse completed the race in 1 hour and 6 minutes, outpacing four other runners ranging from 14 to 64 years old. It seems Paulo has learned early that slow and steady wins the race - especially when there's ice cream at the finish line!

As runners crossed the finish line, they were treated to a veritable ice cream paradise. San Bernardo Ice Cream pulled out all the stops, offering multiple flavors including chocolate, vanilla, raspberry, and more. And let's not forget the toppings - every sprinkle, sauce, and sweet addition you could imagine was available for the taking. It was like Willy Wonka had decided to sponsor a 5k!

At the end of the day, the Ice Cream 5k was a testament to the fact that exercise can indeed be fun and rewarding. After all, who doesn't like running for ice cream? It's certainly a more enticing prospect than running from the ice cream truck! We look forward to seeing this event grow even bigger next year, bringing together more fitness enthusiasts and ice cream aficionados alike. Remember folks, in this race, everyone's a winner - because everyone gets ice cream!
