Approximately 1,300 runners and walkers competed in this weekends annual Bushwaker 5K on Saturday, August 3, 2012.

The race kicked off the beginning of the Bushwacker Festival 2012 held annually on Pensacola Beach. The festival celebrates our favorite hometown alcoholic beverage- the Pensacola Bushwacker. The Pensacola Bushwacker is made with vanilla ice cream and a variety of rum and liquers.
After the race, the Capt'N Fun Runners throw a great party with food, music, prizes and even alcohol!
A group of friends and I ran this race to support the local community. The main beneficiary of this charity event was Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida. This group matches adults in the local community, dubbed "Big Brothers and Sisters" with school aged youth in the community, dubbed "Little Brothers and Sisters." The pair meet weekly during the school year to share stories, spend time, and study together. This program is very rewarding, and mentors are in high demand, especially male mentors! If you are interested in being a mentor in Escambia or Santa Rosa County, please contact BBBS of NWFL or call (850) 433-5437.
