The White Sulphur Springs Community Fund is kicking off the 4th annual Race For This Place fun run/walk. This race is about community support and fun, so runners and walkers of all abilities are welcome. This years race will benefit the Stevens Youth Center. The Stevens Youth Center provides a safe place for supervised activities to involve youth in meaningful ways in the community. It is a free afterschool program for Meagher county youth that includes gardening, cooking, arts and crafts, and games. The previous 3 years this race had benefitted the Mountain View Medical Center and the Meagher county Library (2 years) and has been sucessful in fund raising between $8,000 to $10,000 thanks to contributions from our community.
The 15k race will begin at 7:00 on July 4th 2010 and the 5 mile and 1 mile run/walk will begin at 7:30 AM. All routes will begin at the Meagher County Courthouse proceeding west of town on Highway 360. The 5k and the 1 mile run/walk are an out and back course over the North fork of the Smith River and along highway 360. The 14k course will be run on mostly dirt roads west of town. It is a scenic run through surrounding ranchland with spectacular views of the Big Belt and Castle Mountains. Most of the course is flat; the one substantial hill provides one of the best views in the Smith River Valley. There will be one aid station about 1/2 way through the 15k and 5k.
Participants and volunteers will receive a T-shirt, certificate, and goodies. Continental breakfast, award ceremony, and door prizes will be immediately following the race. Racers are encouraged to ride on the Race Float in the local parade being held at 11:00 AM. Register for only $15.00 until June 21st, and $20.00 until race day. In lieu of registration fee, participants are welcome to obtain pledges. Early registration and packet pickup will be July 3rd from 5:30 p.m. -7:30 p.m. across the street from the Spa Hot Springs. Late Registration will be July 4th beginning at 6:00 a.m. at the Meagher County Courthouse (no guarantee on shirt availability with late registration).
