05/07/12 New Balance iPad Winner

During April, Track Shack customers and IOA Corporate 5k participants were invited to "Donate & Get Fit" for a chance to win an iPad, courtesy of New Balance the official apparel and shoe sponsor of the Corporate 5k. Customers donated their old running shoes and got specially fit for new running shoes.

The iPad winner was David Montanez, Environmental Graphic Manufacturer (Sign Maker) at Florida Hospital.
"I'm a long time runner and I run to keep my cholesterol and health in good shape. I've been shopping at Track Shack so long I remember when it was down the street where the Black Sheep knitting store is now," says Montanez. "I will be deployed to Afghanistan in June with the Naval Reserve Seabee unit for 10 months. The iPad will be a wonderful new tool to take with me during my deployment to stay in touch with my wife, family and friends."
