Get the Goods at SCCA Runoffs 5K Run and Kids Dash
Several companies have stepped up and donated some pretty awesome items to be raffled off to those participating in the SCCA’s first annual Runoffs 5K and Checkered Flag Dash at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on September 24 following Saturday races at the SCCA National Championship Runoffs, presented by Garmin VIRB.
What are those goodies? How about a set of race tires from Hoosier or Goodyear? And Stupid Fast Tires has tossed in a free tire change/mount/balance service! Already got tires? Then maybe a $50 gift certificate from Carbotech will interest you! Honda Racing and Alliance Autosport are offering up some swag, too! There will also be some running socks given away by SwiftWick, a Garmin watch up for grabs, and two SCCA annual memberships.
Taking the green flag at 6:30pm, the 5K course includes running/walking a complete lap around the Mid-Ohio race track, and runners/walkers will take the checkered flag at the finish line. The one-mile Checkered Flag Dash fun run/walk will precede the 5K at 6:00 p.m. and also wrap up at the track’s finish line, giving the whole family an opportunity to run/walk on the track.
The early registration price is $10 for the Checkered Flag Dash and $25 for the SCCA Runoffs 5K, which includes an event t-shirt. In support of September being Childhood Cancer Awareness month, all proceeds from the event will benefit the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital, as well as the Maxton’s Fight Foundation.
After crossing the finish line, runners/walkers will enjoy food and beverages during the awards ceremony. Participants in the 5K will be entered into the raffle, as well as volunteers helping to make the run/walk possible.
Registration for the event is now open online here. A discounted entry is available for families of three or more, and we are still in need of about 10 more volunteers to help direct runners on course and hand out water cups. Anyone interested should email Race Director Jason Stine at sccarunoffs5k@gmail.com for details. And again, volunteers will be eligible to win raffle prizes!
