Five Points Community Collaborative board member Natasha Newman participated in the race. She said many people are moving into the area and want to see more events hosted in their community.
“People want a chance to get to know each other, and they want to do things within their community instead of always having to go to South End or NoDa,” Newman said. “They want to get out their door, they want to walk, they want to bike, and they want to go somewhere where they can meet other people, hang out, have a good time without having to jump in the car and go far.”
