Get Your Rear in Gear 5k – March 22, 2014 – Asheville, NC

Asheville Gastroenterology has held a race for the past several years and now appear to be part of a larger network of races coordinated by the Colon Cancer Coalition. I reviewed the Colon Cancer Coalition website and it looks like at this point there are 19 such races scheduled around the U.S. Here’s some information from the local organizers:
