5 Star Race Productions was established in 2009 by Ed Fore & Janice McSweeney. We put on races up to 15K and strive to make each one unique and great for the runners. 

Ed had strong project management and organizational skill set developed during a 25 year career in the nuclear power industry. Ed has completed (8) marathons and has placed in his age group in such races as the Savannah River Bridge Run Double-Pump ("the South's toughest bridge run") and the YMCA Wrightsville Beach Triathlon. He is now a fitness runner who enjoyes any day he can go for a run, bike ride or visit the weight room for a workout.

Janice has owned businesses in Kalispell Montana, Chapel Hill NC and Wilmington and is currently Magager of Guest services at NHRMC in her day job. She handles the business side of 5 SRP and co-race directs with Ed on race weekends. Janice is a 3-time marathoner and has won her age group in such races as the Savannah River Bridge Run 10K "the South's toughest Bridge Run", the YMCA Tri-span 10K, as well as some local triathlons and road races. Today she works to stay strong and enjoys each run or ride and the feeling of accomplishment she and Ed feel after each workout. "We treasure our good health and greatly enjoy seeing athletes of all levels compete and participate in the events we produce."
