Morningside Mile and Block Party

Doc Chey’s is pleased to announce the return of the fourth annual Morningside Mile 1-mile race and block party benefiting Atlanta’s oldest fire station on Sunday, October 20, from noon to 2 p.m. Participants and non-runners
alike are invited to enjoy an afternoon of festivities at the Morningside
Village shopping center, home to the original Doc Chey’s. Festivities include
the annual Doc Chey’s noodle eating contest, music, food and family fun
provided by local businesses and Atlanta firefighters.

Race registration is currently open and the number of participants

is limited this year. Registered runners get a technical race hat, free SweetWater beer or
Yoforia frozen yogurt, and a raffle ticket for a chance to win local merchant
gift cards.  Cash prizes will be awarded for Overall ($200 for fastest
male and female runners), Masters ($100 for fastest over 40 male and female runners) and Grand Masters ($50 for fastest over 50 male and female
runners).  New this year, teams of four can
enter the race and the fastest team will win a $100 Doc Chey’s gift card. 
For the runner who gets the closest time to 4:20, he or she will win a deluxe
SweetWater prize pack including four tickets to the brewery and tasting,
SweetWater apparel and other prizes. Runners can register in-store at Phidippides and Highland Runners or online at www.morningsidemile.com. Registration is $25 per person and will close on Thursday, October 17, or at 1000 runners, whichever comes first.

Last year’s Morningside Mile raised $8,000 for Atlanta fire

station 19 in Virginia Highland and since its inception has raised more than

$21,000. Over the years, lack of funding for proper maintenance on this 1925
historic landmark has resulted in termite damage to the staircase, holes in the ceiling and standing water in the station due to poor drainage. For more information, visit www.vhfirecompany.com.

Doc Chey’s Noodle House is a neighborhood restaurant that spreads good karma by serving affordable,
freshly-wok’d noodles, stir-fries and handmade dim sum inspired by the cuisines
of China, Japan, Thailand, Korea and Vietnam. For more information, visit www.doccheys.com.
