Alpha Tau Delta’s Dewberry Jam Fiesta 5K and Kids 1K Run/Walk is the first weekend in May this year, after several years with an April date, but there are a couple of differences from recent years.
It’s on Friday (this one,
3) and it’s an evening event.
Registration is 4 to 6 p.m. by the city pool with the kids 1K beginning 6 p.m., followed by the awards from that race at 6:30 and the 5K run at 7.
This year also features a “party in the park” with a nacho bar, washer tourney, musical entertainment and family fun.
Participants will complete the course on streets in the park area.
All participants who pre-register will receive a T-shirt. For race day signup, shirts will be available while supplies last.
“Fun, festive items” will also be distributed to participants.
There will be best-dressed awards.
Adult registration fee is $30.
Kids 1K fee is $15.
Kids race recipients will receive a medal. Top three finishing male and female overall in each age division of the 5K race receive a trophy.
Kid’s age divisions are 5-and-under, 6-7, 8-9 and 10-12. Ages are as of race day, May 3, 2019.
Proceeds raised from the event will go to help support community service projects and scholarships for local seniors, according to the sorority.
In its first 19 years the runs have raised $110,300 for Alpha Tau Delta’s numerous projects.
