Run for Fun Brookings planned through July

Posted

BROOKINGS – Run 4 Fun Brookings is a simplified youth track meet that will be held on Wednesday evenings throughout July.

The event is the brainchild of Kati Merkley of Brookings, with sponsorship by Brookings Health System and the support of Prairie Striders Running Club and the Brookings Area Fellowship of Christian Athletes ministry.

Registration is being handled online through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes website. The entry is free, but advanced registration is required for the participation waiver.

Run 4 Fun Brookings is at 6 p.m. on July 6, 13, 20 and 27 at the Brookings High School track. The following week is the Predictor Mile, a Prairie Striders event that also has 400- and 800-meter runs for younger participants.

At Run 4 Fun Brookings there will be no individual timing. Brookings Health System is providing participation ribbons as well as refreshments.

Ages to participate in the event are 4-11 years. Events offered each Wednesday will be 50-, 100-, 200-, 400- and 800-meter runs.
