Participants sought for annual "5k Run/Walk for the Kids" on Oct. 30
October 19, 2010How about a brisk fall run/walk to benefit children?
That's the idea behind the annual "5K Run/Walk for the Kids" on Saturday, Oct. 30, sponsored by Richland County Children Services Staff Enrichment.
This year's event starts at 9 a.m. at the intersection of Edgewood and Crescent Roads in Woodland and proceeds 3.1 miles on scenic roads in the Woodland neighborhood. Registration is from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the nearby Richland County Children Services pavilion at 731 Scholl Road.
Walkers, runners and the entire community are invited to attend and/or participate in this great event that supports the agency's efforts to aid abused and neglected children throughout Richland County.
If you register in advance, the cost is only $10. The first 100 runners and walkers registered will receive a free t-shirt. Race day registration fee is $15.
We will again have seven age groups for the event: 12&under, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60-plus. Awards will go to the top three men and women finishers in each age group and to the top three men and women overall.
For more information, call Tim Harless at 419-774-6909.
