After the success of its first effort a year ago, the First Presbyterian Church of Elba has organized another 5K Run/Walk in Elba for 9 a.m. Aug. 20.
The course is a lovely country route through some of the back roads of Elba. (See the website for a specific course map.) There will be a water stop at the turn around point, and refreshments will be available after the race.
The first 75 registrants will receive a T-shirt.
Participants can pre-register, either online at www.elba5k.com or by sending the completed registration form (available online) and payment to Dave Bateman (address listed at the bottom of the article), or they can register on race day.
Race day registration begins at the Elba Veterans Memorial Park at 8 a.m. and ends at 8:45 a.m. All participants must meet at the park during that time to receive their number and confirm their attendance.
Registration fees are as follows:
Before Aug. 13: $15 (under 18: $12)
Race Day: $18 (under 18: $15)
Family rate before Aug. 13: $12 per runner (multiple runners at same household, mail forms together)
