Description

The 10th Annual Father Jerry 5K will take place on Saturday, August 17th at Musgrove Park. The 5K race start is 8 AM and the Fun Run will follow. Over the years, the FJ5K has become one of the largest 5K races in Southeastern Illinois with 300-400 participants each year. Our goal is to fill Musgrove Park with runners, walkers, and first time fun runners once again.

Registered participants will receive:

- A race bib with chip timing (for 5K runners)
- Post race awards for overall and age group
- Finisher's medal (for Fun Run participants)
- Post race snacks and drinks

* The guaranteed t-shirt cutoff date is July 28th at 11:59 PM. Please be registered by this date to guarantee you will receive a race shirt!

* The first 125 Richland County youth registrants are FREE!

* EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION- we will have a prize drawing for all who are registered by 7:00 PM on Sunday, July 21st.

We look forward to seeing you on August 17th!

“We do this to remember his energy, enthusiasm, strength, & love for being active. May his example lead us to keep moving, doing good deeds for others, living the faithful good life, and always...walking or running...humbly.” In loving memory of Father Jerome Wirth 1941-2013.
