This year’s Betty Zane Days 5K Run/Walk participants will not only be competing to win the race, they will all be doing their part to beat cancer as well. ?That’s because proceeds from this year’s race will benefit Riders for a Cure and the Belmont County Relay for Life.

The race takes place on Wednesday August 7, 2013 at 6:30pm with the start/finish line located at the Martins Ferry City Park. Registration will begin on race day at 4:30pm but those wishing to participate are encouraged to sign up in advance by picking up an entry form?at the City Building Utility Office or Martins Ferry Recreation Center or by going to?www.active.com.?

Cost of entering is $13 if registration is received by July 22nd or $15 from July 23rd thru the day of the race. ?The first 150 participants are guaranteed a t-shirt.

Awards will be given to the top three male/female finishers per age group for both runners and walkers. ?Special awards will be given for the first Martins Ferry Citizen as well as the first Martins Ferry firefighter to cross the finish line.
