Posted

CANTON -- The Stillman Foote Running Club will hold the first race of the 2017 Summer Sunset 5K Series on Tuesday, June 13 at 7:30 p.m. on the Stillman Foote cross-country course on the St. Lawrence University campus.

This is the 38th season for the series, which attracts hundreds of runners and walkers of all abilities from northern New York and Canada to compete on the fast, flat 3.1 mile loop course. Participants will be competing to earn a coveted Summer Sunset T-shirt, awarded to those completing all three events.

In addition to the 5K race, a one-mile fun run will be held. Designed for young runners, walkers, and beginning runners, the run starts at 7:15 p.m., prior to the 5K start. Competitors in all three one-mile runs will also receive T-shirts.

Registration will begin at 6:30 p.m. across Park Street from the Augsbury Physical Education Center. Fee is $5 for all three races or $2 per race (US & Canadian).

Summer Sunset #2 will be held on Tuesday, July 11, and Summer Sunset #3 is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 8, both at 7:30 p.m.

If thunder seems imminent registration will take place at the SLU Stafford Fitness Center Lobby.
