On October 8th, staff, volunteers and members from the JASA Starrett Senior Center participated in the East Brooklyn 5K Run/Walk, where they hoped to spread awareness on healthy living and put a spotlight on Breast Cancer.
The event began at the Spring Creek Park near Gateway Mall—located at 395 Gateway Drive—where participants of all ages, including families, proceeded to walk/run around the community. The event was followed by games, fitness activities, as well as medals for all those who took part in the event.
The Annual East Brooklyn 5K Run/Walk was hosted by the East New York Restoration. The walk/run route proceeded from Gateway Drive to Flatlands Avenue, along Vermont Street, across Stanley Avenue, and then back down Elton Street toward Vandalia Avenue, culminating back at Gateway Mall.
