Century Cross Country Classic 5K This Saturday
January 23, 2019
The Century Chamber of Commerce will present the “Century Cross Country Classic 5K” this Saturday. Runners and walkers will lace up their shoes and run and walk over a mixture of grass, gravel, dirt, and pavement through Anthony Pleasant and Showalter parks in Century.
The 5K will being at 8 a.m. with a half mile fun run/walk to follow at about 9:15 a.m. Race day registration is $25 and begins at 6:30 a.m. at Anthony Pleasant Park on East Highway 4. For a printable registration form, click here.
Awards will be presented in 34 different age groups, and t-shirts will be given to the first 50 registered runners and walkers.
“It will be fun and family-friendly. I’m looking forward to helping with the event. It’s the perfect setting for a community cross country race and it’s safer because it’s not being conducted on a city street. Anthony Pleasant and Buck Showalter are two Century sports icons. They have given notoriety to Century in professional sports. How fitting that we exercise through the parks named after them. Come run and walk with us,” Matt Dobson, race director, said.
For more information, contact Dobson at (850) 217-2603 or Tony Nolen at (850) 232-1453.
