Polk Strawberry Run 2012
The annual Polk Strawberry 5K Run will take place on Saturday, June 16, at 9:30 a.m., with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m. Sponsored by the Mapleton Athletic Department, the Mapleton Cross Country Program, and the Girls Basketball Program, the Strawberry Run kicks off the Polk Strawberry Festival, now in its 13th year. The race takes place east of State Route 89 on County Road 800 in Polk. A registration tent will be located in the area of the Community Center and Park with the race beginning and finishing in that area. Entrance fee is $15.00.
Anyone who wishes to pre-register for this race can print out the attached brochure, fill out the registration form, and mail it (along with payment) to Matt Hess, 1630 Southwood Drive, Ashland, Ohio 44805. All paid pre-registered athletes will receive T-shirts. Walk-ups who register the day of the event are welcome, but are not guaranteed a shirt. Plaques, medals, and ribbons will go to the winners and top placers in each age group; and plaques will be given to the Overall Male and Female Champions as well.
So plan to attend the Polk Strawberry Festival on June 16, starting with the Strawberry Run 5K at 9:30 a.m. and the festival events beginning at noon!
