LITTLE ROCK – If your asphalt-weary running shoes are craving some new action, get off the beaten path in the 2015 4-H 5K set for April 11.
“This race is a great opportunity to hit the dirt, take in some great scenery with just the right number of elevation changes,” said Priscella Thomas-Scott, events coordinator for the Arkansas 4-H Program. “Outside of the course, the 4-H 5K is a great way to benefit one of the largest youth development programs in Arkansas.”
The 4-H 5K is run over trails at the C.A. Vines Arkansas 4-H Center in Ferndale, just 10 miles west of Little Rock. Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. and the event starts at 9 a.m.
Awards will be presented at 11 a.m. All participants will receive an official race shirt and number. Awards will be given to overall male and female runners and to first, second and third place finishers in age and gender categories.
Advance registration costs $5 for youths and $15 for adults. Online registration is available ahead of the event at http://getmeregistered.com/UofA4H5KTrailRun. Registration on the day of the event is $10 for youths and $20 for adults.
