Plans for the sixth annual Wright Run 5K/10K have been announced by the Wright Memorial Hospital Foundation in Trenton.
The 2017 event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 7 in Trenton and will begin and conclude on the campus of Wright Memorial Hospital. Participants will meet for their official send-off at the hospital and return there for their final lap on the hospital’s walking trail.
Cost for participants will again be $25 for early registration and $30 for those registering after Sept. 15. The entry fee will include an official t-shirt and race bib. Registration can be completed online at https://racewire.com/register.php?id=8350. Paper registrations are available at Premier Eye Care, Hy-Vee, Hometown Pharmacy and Wright Memorial Hospital. Registration the day of the race is at 7 a.m. and the race will begin at 8 a.m.
The Kids Dash will also be held again in conjunction with the event and will be free for children 10 years of age and under. Participants are encouraged to wear their favorite super hero costumes. The Dash will begin at 9 a.m.
All proceeds from the Wright Run will support the purchase of equipment and improvements for Wright Memorial Hospital. In the past, funds from the Wright Run have financed projects including a 3-D mammography machine and the hospital walking trail.
Parking for Wright Run participants will be limited at the hospital and those who desire to leave promptly after the race may want to park at the North Central Missouri College’s Barton Farm Campus. There will be temporary street closings from 8 to 10 a.m. that morning at Fisherman Road and Lake Trenton Drive.
