Union Catholic's Race to the Gold 5K Run

Union Catholic High School is hosting "Union Catholic’s Race to the Gold 5K Run".  In the 2012-2013 school year, Union Catholic High School will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the school’s opening in 1962.  As a prelude to this milestone and in keeping with this school year’s theme of “Community”, the school will debut the
inaugural Race to the Gold 5K Run on Saturday, October 22, at Union Catholic High School in Scotch Plains.  The runners/walkers will race through tree-lined neighborhoods
of Scotch Plains and end on the brand new turf field and track on the grounds of the school.  The course is fully certified by the United States of America Track and Field.

Race day registration will begin at 7:30 AM with the distribution of race numbers, t-shirts and race packets with the 5K Run beginning at 9:00 AM. Race day sign-up is available.  The race is open to runners and walkers of all ages and is ensured to provide friendly competition, fitness and a proud sense of community. The entry fee for the 5K race is $25.  Race applications and on-line registration can be found at www.raceforum.com/unioncatholic.  Awards will be provided to the top male and female winner, and the top three winners in various age groups from 14 and under to 60 and over.  In addition, all racers are eligible for random giveaways and complimentary post-race refreshments.  All proceeds from the event will go directly into further enhancing the athletic experiences of the students at the school.
