RUSSELLVILLE —The RCS Education Foundation 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run will take place Saturday, Oct. 13, on and around the RCS campus. This is the third year the Foundation has hosted this event, and Foundation President Mike Mayfield said they are hoping this will be their best turnout yet.
All funds raised during the event will go toward the Foundation's main goal of awarding scholarships to RHS seniors and grants to teachers for instructional learning in their classrooms.

Those who register after Oct. 6 will have a $25 registration fee and T-shirts will be given on a first come first serve basis.
Event day registration and check-in will begin at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13, at the RHS Auditorium lobby. The 5K race will begin at 8 a.m., the 1 Mile Fun Run will begin at 9 a.m..
