GREENE – The 8th annual Labor Day 5k Race & Walk sponsored by the Greene Labor Day Picnic Association will again be held this year with a start time of 9 a.m. at the Greene Lion’s Club Park. The course is an officially certified 5k course by the USATF (USA Track & Field), and all runners will be chip timed.

The course starts and finishes near the larger pavilion at the Greene Lions Club Park, and a map of the course is attached to the pavilion wall. Likewise, each mile is marked along the course.

Registered runners are credited with a $5 food certificate redeemable at any of the Ball Flats food vendors; and for those who pre-register, guaranteed a Greene Labor Day 5K 2015 race t-shirt will await. There will be plenty of after-race refreshments.

Unlike the majority of 5K races, the Labor Day 5K is for both runners and walkers alike; and according to organizers, it's not uncommon for groups of walkers to “buddy-up” with other walkers.
