- The 3rd Annual Telespectrum 5K was moved from Catawba College to Knox Middle School in July 2000 to allow participants to run / walk a completed portion of the Salisbury Greenway. This was the second year that proceeds from the race went toward the Greenway Project. The event brought out a total of 182 runners and walkers. Steve Clark from Salisbury Parks and Recreation (and SRR member) was race director. SRR club member Robert Miller easily won the race with a time of 15:39. The female overall winner was Jennifer Halsch of McLeansville, NC (18:25).
