Some train no matter the weather.

Temperatures will rise through Wednesday giving residents and visitors the opportunity to start training for the Lion’s Club 5-K/10-K and Fun Run during the Labor day weekend in September. The Mountain Man Run started last September and will be run again this year.

The advantages of registering early are lower prices and a free T-shirt. Through May 31, the prices for the 10-K, 5-K and fun run are $40, $30 and $15 respectively rising to $55, $45 and $30 on race day. Those who register before July 31 get a T-shirt. If you cannot race, the Lion’s Club accepts volunteers for traffic control and other assistance.
