16th Annual Sierra Club "Earth Day 5K" Set for
Annapolis, April 24
David Prosten
Runners, walkers and friends of the environment from throughout the
county and beyond are gearing up for one of the year's most fun Earth
Day celebration events: the Anne Arundel Sierra Club's Earth Day 5K
Race and Walk at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis.
Runners and walkers alike agree that the course, through the Park's 350
lush green acres off the South River, is one of the most attractive in
the state. And trophies and gifts to the participants, provided by the
Sierra Club and local sponsors, are fun and many.
The race takes place Saturday, April 24, with pre-registration forms
available at the Sierra Club’s website or on the day of the
race, between 7:15 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. The race starts at 8:30 a.m.
sharp. There is a $25 runner registration fee by April 16, $30 on the
day of the race.
Generous refreshments are available to all participants. Admission to
the park is free for all Earth Day activities. All participants receive
a Sierra Club "Earth Day 5K" T-shirt; runners are eligible to win
awards in several categories.
Every entrant is eligible for post-race drawings that offer hundreds of
dollars in goodies that typically include meals from area restaurants,
Orioles tickets, health club memberships, kayak rentals, ice cream
cones, gourmet coffees, outdoor gear and more.
Leashed dogs are invited to participate. All minors must be accompanied
by a parent or responsible person who can sign a routine waiver the
morning of the race.
Participants can pre-register by getting an entry form from Race
