Farmerettes host 5K Fun Run tomorrow

Farmerettes host 5K Fun Run tomorrow

Usually when you see people running on Halloween weekend, you instantly think that they just got their pants scared off by a horror movie or a haunted house, but on Saturday some will be running for fun.

The Farmerettes are hosting a “Frightful 5K Fun Run” in Old Town on Oct. 29. The race starts at 8 a.m. and ends at noon. Registration the day of the race, from 7 a.m. to 7:45 a.m., is $20 for adults and $10 for students.

Even though this is their first year doing the “Fun Run,” the Farmerettes plan to make it an annual event. Coach Linda Cragin expects a pretty big turnout.

“We are hoping for our first year to at least [have] 100 to 150 [participants], hoping that it grows every single year,” Cragin said.

Everyone who participates in the race will get a T-shirt, and the top three finishers get a plaque. There is a costume contest as well, and the three best costumes get a gift certificate. The Farmerettes are running booths where kids can do crafts, and are providing babysitting and a candy booth for trick or treaters.

Sophomore Farmerette Michealla Edwards is excited for people to come.

“People should come because it’s fun and a great way to exercise,” Edwards said.

All of the money raised will go towards the Farmerette booster club. For additional information, call or email Dana Love at (214) 488-7506 or [email protected]. Or contact Cragin at (469) 713-5190 X3217 or [email protected].
