On-line Registration Is Open for the Lovejoy Country Run
The Lovejoy Country Run 5K race and 1K fun run is set for Saturday, May 14th. On-line registration is now open at www.LukesLocker.com. This is the fifth year for the event and the number of runners will reach over 1,000 this year. Proceeds are split between the 13 athletic booster clubs at LHS. Young runners have a great time running the 1K fun run on the high school track and running through the inflatable leopard head used at varsity football games. All ages compete for medals on the certified 5K course, (TX07030ETM), which runs up Rock Ridge Road. We have even added three new medal age brackets this year. Top 3 male or female racers ages 9 and under, top 3 female racers ages 10-14, and top 3 male racers ages 10-14. As always the pancake breakfast, bounce houses, face painting and Dallas Mobile DJ make for a great May morning! Don’t miss the fun. Check out our website and photos at www.TheLovejoyCountryRun.org.
