Get out your lucky running shoes — the third annual 4-H Clover Run is coming up April 4, starting at 9:15 a.m. at the Ellis County Fairgrounds.
Ellis County Extension Agent Susan Schlichting said the event is family-friendly and includes a 5K walk/run for all ages including toddlers and babies pushed in wagons and strollers.
In each of the last two years, Schlichting said the event drew approximately 100 people. She invited the community to attend, noting all proceeds fund college scholarships and 4-H camps.
“(The Clover Run) is a win-win … a family-friendly event on a closed course, so it’s a fairly safe environment to do a walk or run, and a fun way to hang-out with 4-H folks and support a good cause,” she said.
If participants register by Wednesday, a free T-shirt is included in the registration fee of $20. Registration for children younger than 7 is free.
After Wednesday, registration is $25 and available through the morning of the event. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m.
A variety of prizes are available in two adult divisions.
