Upper Arlington Area Chamber of Commerce members and the community will get a chance to get some exercise while supporting a worthy cause during the Chamber’s first 5K on June 20.
The race, which starts at 8 a.m., will start and finish at Reed Road Park. A Kids Fun Run will begin at 7:50 a.m. Runners in the 5K will get to race on Reed, Fishinger and McCoy roads.
Prior to and following the race, local businesses will set up tables with giveaways at Reed Road Park. Columbus Running Company will coordinate race timing logistics so each participant can track his or her pace. Awards will be available by age and gender categories.
Registration is $20 per person and increases to $35 per person the week of the event. Members or veterans of the U.S. military, along with groups of three or more, receive a $5 discount. The Kids Fun Run is free. Part of the proceeds will be donated to VETMotorsports, an Upper Arlington nonprofit that helps disabled veterans by introducing them to motor sports.
