5K in Cleveland set for Aug. 22; will raise funds for schools
Here’s some news, courtesy of the state Tourism Department, about a northeast Oklahoma 5K race, for those of you who can’t resist the urge to run:
CLEVELAND — Registration is underway for the 5k CimTel Classic in Cleveland on Aug. 22, according to Diana Tilley-Esparza, Cleveland Chamber of Commerce Executive Director.
“This is the 7th year for this popular family event that raises money for area schools,” she said. Cleveland is hosting the classic, a USATF sanctioned event which is being coordinated by Glen’s Racing Service. Other sponsors include Cim-Tel Cable and The Cleveland American.
The schools participating are Cleveland, Mannford, Keystone, Prue, Jennings, and Fairfax. “They will receive a portion of the entry fee from every runner who chooses their school,” Tilley-Esparza said. Booths are available to school organizations such as SADD, band boosters, cheerleaders, and others, she said.
The younger set will have a chance to stretch their legs too at the CimTel Class Fun Run. This non-competitive, family friendly event is the perfect experience for students and parents alike who are not competing in the 5k run.
The Fun Run starts at 8:05 a.m., just following the start of the 5k.
The 5k Run beings and ends at Cleveland High School, 600 N Gilbert, in Cleveland. It starts at 8 a.m. Entry fee is $25. At 6:30 a.m. runners who have not already done so can register and collect their race packets. After the race, an award ceremony and medal presentation takes place at the Cleveland Event Center.
