The 1K Run/Walk, 5K Run/Walk and 10K Run is coming up on Sunday, May 5. The flat, paved course starts at the corner of SW 2nd St. and SW Western Blvd., and follows the bike path in Southwest Corvallis through Avery and Starker Arts parks.
All ages are welcome. Registration fees for the 1K Run/Walk are $20.00, and the 5k Run/Walk and 10k Run are $30.00. Use promotion code ggr2013 to receive $5 off online registration.
All entrants receive a tomato plant for their garden and a short-sleeve shirt (tech shirt for adult sizes and cotton t-shirt for youth sizes).
All proceeds go towards the CSC Youth House Gardens program. Every
season, four to ten youth who are enrolled in our federal workforce
program are responsible for caring for 40 raised beds, without the use
of herbicides or pesticides. Our mission is to encourage learning,
entrepreneurship and work readiness in Benton County youth and to grow
and locally-distribute responsibly-raised produce.For registration, sponsorship, and other information about the Garden Gnome Run, visit http://www.gardengnomerun.com.For more information about the CSC Youth Garden, visit http://communityservices.us/education/youth-garden/ or check out our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/CSCYouthGarden.
