Beginning tomorrow during lunch you will have the opportunity to pre-register yourself, friends, and family for the Race Against Reflux 5K Run/Walk.
We will be in the lobby with race forms every day this week. Registration fees are $10 for all students and $15 for others. This fee includes your race t-shirt.
This week will not be the only time you are allowed to sign up, we are just offering this period to you guys to secure your spots and t-shirts in correct sizes!
If you are planning on volunteering for the race, this week is also the time to sign up. We will be offering $1 volunteer t-shirts, so come sign up and let us know what size you’d like.
As always, there is a little competition involved. Whichever class has the most volunteers and runners will win a Krispy Kreme breakfast!!!
Thanks!
