Sunset Chase 5K planned in downtown Elkins

ELKINS –The fourth annual Sunset Chase 5K Fun Run will take place in the streets of downtown Elkins at 7 p.m. Sept. 9. This family-friendly event starts and ends at the Elkins Depot and Welcome Center. Registration begins at 6 p.m.; the run will start at 7 p.m. at 315 Railroad Ave.

The Sunset Chase 5K Fun Run is an un-timed, five-kilometer (3.1 mile) “race” aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles and celebrating successes. The 5K will begin prior to dark and participants will receive glow accessories at registration to wear during the run. Whether you walk every step or sprint to the finish, we know you’re up to the challenge.

Each paid registered participant by Sept. 1 receives a free T-shirt. Fruit and water will be available to all participants after the run. This year, every paid registrant that completes the race will be placed in a $100 cash prize drawing. We will give away three $100 cash prizes sponsored by Citizens Bank of West Virginia.

Sponsorships are currently available. Thank you to Allegheny Insurance, Cricket Wireless and Citizens Bank of West Virginia for already committing to being a sponsor of the Chamber’s Sunset Chase 5K Fun Run for 2017. More information on becoming a sponsor or volunteer of the Sunset Chase is available by contacting the Chamber office at 304-636-2717 or chamber@erccc.com.
