Picture this, joggers: bright sunny weather and beautiful autumn foliage, a flat well-tended USATF certified course, and free T-shirts to boot. Serious runners and wannabees alike are invited to participate in Mercer County Community College's 5K Run-Walk this first weekend in October.
The address is Mercer County College, 1200 Edinburg Rd., West Windsor, NJ. Coming in from Hughes Drive or Edinburg Road, follow the signs to the Athletic Department on the northeast part of campus.
Registration starts online, but runners can register on location this Saturday, October 2, before the 9:00 a.m.start.
There are going to be trophies and awards of course, but if you are someone who is just out for a good time, consider that your running "costume" might qualify for the "Best Depiction of a First Amendment Right" or "Most Expressive Outfit".
A live DJ is planned for post-race festivities. There will be refreshments, goodies, and T-shirts until the supply runs out. The website suggests that there will be also scavenger hunt postings related to first amendment rights and journalism notes.
The cost for runners is $20 for early registration, $25 the day of the event. If you can put together a team you will qualify for a discount.
Contact information for registration is email: kellysmith369@gmail.com.
Proceeds from this event provides income for journalism supplies and educational opportunities for the staff of MCCC's student newspaper, The Voice.
We take freedom of the press for granted sometimes. It takes an event like this to remind us that we should not take our constitutional liberties for granted.
People rock!
