5K Run/Walk July 28

The Morgan County Fair kicks off with the annual 5K Run/Walk on July 28 at Cacapon State Park, sponsored by the Morgan County Fair, the Berkeley Springs Lions Club and the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association.

This year’s race will feature a new course which will start and finish at the Cacapon State Park Nature Center.

The new 5K course has something for everyone, from the first time runner to the seasoned athlete. New 2012 5K t-shirts will be provided at the first 75 registrants. Medals will be awarded to the top three overall male and female runners as well as the top three male and female master’s runners (age 40+).

At the conclusion of the event, two additional, shorter distance races will be held for children ages four-12.

To register for the race, contact the Morgan County Extension Office at 304-258-840. On site race-day registration is also available.
