The participation fee is $25 to run and $10 to walk. ESU students can run at a discounted rate of $20 and $10 to walk.

The first 100 people to sign up for the 5K will receive a neon green t-shirt. Winners will receive a long sleeve shirt with the word champion inscribed on the sleeve.

“This could be someone’s first step into a healthy lifestyle,” Melissa Huzar, a graduate student studying exercise science, said. “We love involving the community in university events — I guarantee it will be a good time.”
