Westminster College will host the Sierra Club 5K Earth Day race Sunday, April 24, at 10 a.m.  Registration begins at 8 a.m. in the lobby of the Memorial Field House.

"The 3.1 mile course runs entirely on campus starting and finishing on the track and going through practice fields behind Lake Brittain," said Felicie Reid, a senior environmental science major from North Lima, Ohio.  "Timing is unofficial, but there will be a short awards ceremony with Earth-friendly prizes after the race.  The purpose of the race is for the students and surrounding community to come together to celebrate the outdoors and the sport of running."

The event is free and open to the public, but donations will be appreciated.  For more information, contact Reid at (724) 946-6431 or e-mail reidfj@westminster.edu.
