WGNB Run for A DAY
September 30, 2004
CARROLLTON, GA - On your mark, get set, go! Its time to put on your running shoes for the annual Run for A DAY, sponsored by West Georgia National Bank on Thursday, Oct. 7. The Run for A DAY is an event held to benefit A DAY for West Georgia and to enhance educational excellence for University of West Georgia students.
The run consists of three events: a Tot-Trot for ages 2-6 that begins promptly at 5:15 p.m., a one mile walk/run beginning at 5:45 p.m., and a 5K run beginning at 6:15 p.m. The one-mile walk/run and 5K races will be divided into divisions that are arranged by gender and age.
The cost of entry is $15 per individual, $20 per family, and $7 per UWG student with a current student I.D. There is no registration or fee required for the Tot-Trot. T-shirts will be given to all who register prior to the day of the run.
Awards, created by UWG professor of art Cameron Covert, will be awarded to winners in the following categories: overall male and female, overall male and female UWG student, and overall male and female master runner in the 5K race. Ribbons will also be given to all finishers in the walk/run event.
The races will begin and end at the University Community Center located on the UWG campus. Refreshments, fruit and pizza will be served to all participants after each race. All races will be held rain or shine and parking is limited, so participants are encouraged to arrive early.
