Early registration ends tomorrow

Get the running shoes out of the closet for one of the first 5K run/walk events this summer.

Saturday, May 9, is the kickoff for the fifth annual Strides for a Cure 5K Run/Walk. The kickoff begins at 8:40 a.m. and the race begins at 9 a.m. at Todd Park.

This event is put on by the Youth Leadership group at Austin High School. This event is in its fifth year and all the money raised will benefit breast cancer research. All the proceeds will be donated to The Hormel Institute’s Breast Cancer Research Fund.

Registration forms are available at the cashier’s office at Austin High School or on the webpage: stridesforacurerace.wordpress.com.

Early registration closes this Friday, April 24, but people can still register after and up to the day of the race.
