SALINA – The seventh annual Wildcat Run will take place on Saturday, Sept. 25, sponsored by the Kansas State University at Salina Student Governing Association. Proceeds from the annual Santa Fe Day event benefit the Salina Area United Way.

“The Wildcat Run is a tradition for our students and campus to make a difference in the local community,” said Shana Warkentine Meyer, assistant director of college advancement for student life. “It’s a great chance for K-Staters – and any athletes – to support the local community.”

The event includes a five-kilometer run and a two-mile walk. Registration is $12 per person in advance, or $15 on the day of the race. Each participant will receive a T-shirt and race number, donated by the SGA. All proceeds from the event will be given to the United Way, and additional donations are accepted.

The race route is downtown, with registration at 7 a.m. at Fifth Street and Ash, west of the post office. The race begins at 8 a.m., and awards will be presented to male and female performers, according to age bracket. In case of inclement weather, the race time or date may be delayed; any such decision will be announced on KSAL 1150 AM.

For more information, or to request a reservation form, contact Meyer at 785-826-2610, or call the SGA community service chairman at 785-826-2621.
