Fifth Annual Heather L. Hurd 5K Run and 1 Mile Fun Walk

On-site registration takes place in the Susquehanna Center auxiliary gymnasium from 8 to 8:45 a.m., with the race starting at 9 a.m.

Each participant will receive a T-shirt, refreshments after the race and two tickets to Harford Community College's basketball doubleheader against Southern Maryland the evening of November 22. A headband/ear muff will be given to the first 250 registrants. Awards will be presented based on age groups and final times.

Many activities will take place before and after the race. They include the Maryland State Police's seat belt convincer, which will demonstrate the impact of an automobile crash and the importance of wearing a seat belt, and DUI goggles that will simulate the impairment and danger caused by drunk driving. Also on hand will be a texting-while-driving simulator that participants can use to experience how distracted driving impacts operation of an automobile.

The registration fee for the race is $20 per person in advance and $25 on race day. The cost is $10 for those under 18 years of ago accompanied by a registered adult. Participants may pre-register for the race by visiting www.harford.edu/heather. For more information, call 443-412-2449.
