¾¨Ó㴫ý's Sierra Student Coalition (SSC) will sponsor its third annual Earth Day 5K run and walk Saturday, April 17, starting at 9:30 a.m. at the Field House.
The race was created to bring together ¾¨Ó㴫ý students and members of the community to enjoy the campus and to benefit the environment. It is open to anyone who wants to participate. Advance registration is $5 for ¾¨Ó㴫ý students ($7 day of the race) and $7 for everyone else ($10 day of the race).
Each participant will receive a recycled T-shirt and a reusable shopping bag and will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win gift baskets and gift certificates from area businesses. Pizza Joe's pizza, baked goods, and beverages will be provided to participants following the race.
Awards in all age categories and door prizes will be distributed immediately following completion of the race by all participants.
All proceeds will be designated for improvements to ¾¨Ó㴫ý's Field Station and to support its environmental program for urban youth.
