Edison Community College’s 5K for Athletics race will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2014, at the Piqua Campus. All of the money raised from the event will directly benefit Edison Community College athletic programs. The funds will be used to support programs and needs of student-athletes.

Those interested in participating can pre-register for the event online now through October 2, 2014 at www.edisonohio.edu/edison5k. Entry fees are $20 for pre-registered participants and $25 for race day registrations. Pre-registered participants will receive a free t-shirt and additional shirts will be sold for $5 on race day.

“Edison’s 5K for Athletics is a great opportunity to show your support for local athletes,” said Nate Cole, Director of Athletics and Student Life. “Our student-athletes put their heart and soul into playing for Edison. To return the favor, we want to help support them by providing them with the opportunities they deserve.”

Registration begins at 8 a.m., followed by the official start of the race 9 a.m. Starting in the back parking lot of the College, the five-kilometer race is an “out-and-back” course, and is run entirely on pavement.
