GREENE – The 8th annual Labor Day 5k Race & Walk sponsored by the Greene Labor Day Picnic Association will again be held this year with a start time of 9 a.m. at the Greene Lion’s Club Park. The course is an officially certified 5k course by the USATF (USA Track & Field), and all runners will be chip timed.

The course starts and finishes near the larger pavilion at the Greene Lions Club Park, and a map of the course is attached to the pavilion wall. Likewise, each mile is marked along the course.

Registered runners are credited with a $5 food certificate redeemable at any of the Ball Flats food vendors; and for those who pre-register, guaranteed a Greene Labor Day 5K 2015 race t-shirt will await. There will be plenty of after-race refreshments.

Unlike the majority of 5K races, the Labor Day 5K is for both runners and walkers alike; and according to organizers, it's not uncommon for groups of walkers to “buddy-up” with other walkers.

Trophies for the overall winners and for each age group and awards for the 2nd and 3rd place finishers for overall and each age group will be awarded immediately following the event.
