Thursday was the running of the Creaky Bones 5K Run and Walk benefitting the Arthritis Foundation.

The event featured Kid's Dash and Children's Activities, 5k Chip-timed race, Goodie Bags, Silent Auction and a  Costume Contest. 

The event begins and ends at the St. Petersburg Pier. The weather was great and the runners and walkers were costumed and ready to go. 

This is a really great family event and everyone has a wonderful time. This year's event was well organized and everything went like clockwork. The planners and volunteers deserve a BIG thank you. 

Attached is my photo essay of the event. If you have any pictures be sure to upload them to Pics & Clips on the St. Pete Patch. Finishing photos are in black and white due to lighting conditions. 

Not sure where next year's event will be given the status of the Pier so be sure to check the Creaky Bones Web site for updates.
