ANDERSON --- Tri-County Technical College is asking area runners to participate in a 5K Race this Memorial Day weekend – just for the health of it.

Proceeds will go toward health education student scholarships and other program needs.
           
“This is the first signature community event for our Anderson Campus,” said Rebecca Eidson, Tri-County’s director of public relations.  “If you are a runner and are looking for something fun and healthy to do this holiday weekend, we urge you to sign up for our race.” 
           
Awards will go to the top three finishers in the Open and Masters categories.  Also, there will be age group awards for the top finisher in each five-year category beginning with 14 and under.
           
Interested persons can register online at www.tctc.edu/race or download a race brochure and mail in a registration form.
