Chum Run 5K on Whidbey Island Sunday June 7th!

http://www.swparks.org/

The South Whidbey Recreation Website describes the event as:

The community of South Whidbey Island invites you to participate in the 13th Annual Chum Run on Sunday, June 7, 2009. Come and enjoy our beautiful rural environment after a short ferry ride from Mukilteo. The race takes place on smooth, groomed paths at South Whidbey Community Park, which are a runner’s delight and a welcome break from hard pavement.

We take pride in making the Chum Run a special event; from our highly prized northwest designed “Chum Salmon” t-shirts and distinctive medals to our after-race snacks of fresh fruit and homemade cookies. Proceeds from the race benefit the South Whidbey High School Track and Cross Country programs along with the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation Scholarship Fund.

Whether you are a competitive runner or a casual jogger, the Chum Run is a fun event for everyone. Make a day of it and enjoy the sights and sounds of Whidbey Island after the race.

Race Description: 5K run, walk, 3-person relay (new this year!) and team costume competition.

Course Description: The race occurs on wide, groomed, forest paths with a few moderate hills. The race makes two loops around the course.
