On Saturday, Oct. 25th, Graham Corporation will present and the Batavia Cemetery Association will host the "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" 5K RACE and KIDS FUN RUN. Runners will start on their 5K course inside the candlelit historic cemetery at dusk.
After exiting the Historic Batavia Cemetery onto Harvester Avenue, participants will follow the course signs through the city and back into the main gate where they will finish on the candlelit path.
Kids, up to age 11, are invited to run a two-lap, quarter-mile race around the perimeter of the front lawn, circling the Richmond Mausoleum.
The KIDS FUN RUN begins at 6 p.m. and the 5K race begins at 6:30 p.m. Pre-registration is $15 and $12 per person for a group of three or more. Day of race is $20 per person and kids are $2 each.
T-shirts are guaranteed for the first 100 participants. Proceeds benefit the upkeep and restoration of the Historic Batavia Cemetery.
