Spring Training 5k Run

In my close to 15 years in Roland, I don't know if we have ever had a fun run in town. Maybe right at the 15 years ago, but certainly not lately. That is all to change on Saturday, March 31, as the Britson Park & Athletic Complex fundraising committee will be hosting the Spring Training 5k Run and Pancake Feed.

The run will go thru Roland to make up the 5k (3.1 miles). All participants, for $20, get to run, get a shirt, and get to eat pancakes. If you don't want to run, pancakes will be served for $5 at the American Legion, with the help of the Kiwanis folks.

The proceeds will go to field construction at Britson Park. If you don't want to run, but would like to help with the race, the group is soliciting volunteers--to watch intersections, hand out water, and so on.

1st and 2nd place in each age group will get a medal, and the top overall male and female winner will get a $100 brick for installation on the walkway at Britson Park.

HERE is the signup form with more info. I'm excited to once again have an event like this in Roland.
