… And a lot has been going on while you have been anticipating the arrival of spring and the Harrigan’s 5k.
Last year over 1150 runners joined us in support of four great local charities – won’t you come out too? And we know a good many of you have already registered for the 2015 event, so thanks ever so much.
Check out the 2015 shirt design and color – a lovely lime green shirt honors the day:
The 5k run is the opening event in K&G’s Annual Fun Day. After the run, for all of you cross-trainers and riders, experience K&G Bike Center’s greatest sales event of the entire year … check out this link for the expanded 2015 event details.
As usual, shirts are guaranteed for every runner registered by Feb 27 … the run event features bananas + snacks + water; 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medals for every age group; come in your best St Patrick’s day costumes; and about 100 volunteers make the event run like a clock so everyone can have fun, fun, and more fun.
Up and Running will donate two pairs of running shoes, one each to random male and female runners and 6 x $20 gift cards, one each for the fastest 3 male and 3 female runners. Look for their tent outside of registration to say HI. We are planning a Up and Running pop-up store inside K&G after the 5k is done & clean-up is completed.
K&G will donate several gift cards to be drawn at random – you can use them at K&G’s annual sale immediately after the run. And in case you didn’t check out the details, there will be more food & beer at the K&G sale plus experts from the local cycling community and industry.
To register, head over to Speedy Feet where you can register online or download a form that you can mail in or can be dropped off at UP and Running (Centerville or Troy), or any K&G Bike Center location (Kettering, Centerville, or Xenia). Registration is $20.00 until midnight on March 9th when online registration closes, and $25.00 thereafter. Mailed entries postmarked by March 9th are $20.00; don’t even think about mailing it later if you want to be sure your registration is received in time.
Early packet pick-up (and registration for those that have not registered in advance) will be at Up and Running for two days only, Thur – Fri (3-12 & 13) from 4 to 7 pm, 6123 Far Hills Ave, Dayton OH 45459, 937-432-9710. Race day registration opens at 7:30.
