With about a month left to go, the Susquehanna Community Development Association, in coordination with the Borough of Susquehanna Depot, would like to remind you about the \u201cThird Annual 5K RUN\/WALK\u201d that is scheduled, as a special part of \u201cHometown Days\u201d, to commence on July 23.<\/p>\n
If you participated in 2015, you are aware of how much fun, camaraderie, and friendship is afoot on the streets of our fair Borough.<\/p>\n
The \u201cStart location\u201d is at the Susquehanna Community School grounds, 3192 Turnpike Street, Susquehanna, Pa., with the \u201cFinish line\u201d located at the Borough Building, 83 Erie Boulevard, Susquehanna.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s \u201cBig News\u201d is the recently purchased Electronic Timing System which will give instant race results. A transportation van will be provided, courtesy of Barnes-Kasson Hospital, so you may park either at the school or the borough building. Pre-Registration is due by July 14, but don\u2019t worry, you can sign-in\/register starting promptly at 7:00 am on the day of the race, where you will pick up your race bib. A free T-shirt will be given to the first 150 runners\/walkers to register.<\/p>\n
The starting pistol will sound at 9:00 am. The Race Entry Fee is as follows: $20.00 per runner\/walker or $80.00 for a party of 4. Please note that all four names must be registered in at once.<\/p>\n
There are sixteen Age Categories within the 5K RUN\/WALK. They are: MALES-Age 0-12, Age 13-19, Age 20-29, Age 30-39, Age 40-49, Age 50-59, Age 60-69 and Age 70+. FEMALES – Age 0-12, Age 13-19, Age 20-29, Age 30-39, Age 40-49, Age 50-59, Age 60-69 and Age 70+. There are even prizes for “Top Runner\/Walker with Stroller” and “Top Runner\/Walker with Pet (Dog)–Note: All Dogs must be licensed and on leashes for the 5K Run\/Walk.<\/p>\n
Prizes for this year’s 5K Run\/Walk will be beautiful Bluestone Train Cars. A popular feature from last year\u2019s race has been included again this year with the group challenge. Would your office or, perhaps an organization you belong to, be up for a challenge and a prize of $100 to be shared? A group can even share $50 for a Second Place win. Well, if this is so, gather your gang together and sign up. The non-profit group with the most participants wins $100 and bragging rights for their Office or Organization. The only stipulation is that there must be a minimum of 5 people to qualify as a group.<\/p>\n
Participants representing your Organization or Office would include members, member\u2019s children, grandchildren, parents, friends, etc. As a group, you may pre-register, but Group members\u2019 names will be taken all together on the morning of the Race.<\/p>\n
All proceeds will benefit the S.C.D.A. programs and events within the community of Susquehanna Depot.<\/p>\n
