Sign up for the North Liberty Fun Run / Walk

September 1, 2011 – September 1, 2011) The North Liberty Steering Committee of the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce presents the 8th annual North Liberty Fun Run/Walk, to be held on Sunday, September 18. Sponsored by MidWestOne Bank, the event features a 5k route and children’s race. The race starts at 650 W. Cherry Street, near the gazebo at Liberty Centre. Registration begins at 8:15 a.m., with the children’s race beginning at 9 a.m. followed by the 5k at 9:15 a.m.
New for the 2011 Run is the competition for the Fast Feet Firefighting Trophy, as well as the Most Fun Costume contest. The North Liberty Fire Department has issued a friendly challenge to surrounding fire departments to participate in the Fun Run in full firefighting gear. Firefighters who do so race free. Participants are encouraged to get creative with their race day gear for a chance to win a prize for the Most Fun Costume. The fire department will also bring out the bounce house!
Each year, the Iowa City Area Chamber’s North Liberty Steering Committee donates back to the North Liberty community through a worthy organization. This year the Committee will be supporting the North Liberty Fire Department. As in past years, the Committee will also award $100 to the North Liberty school that recruits the most participants.
Pre-registration ends September 9, and includes a free event T-shirt. After September 9, participants should register the day of the event. Since a Fun Run T-shirt will not be available for day of registration, pre-registration is encouraged. To download the registration form, visit www.iowacityarea.com. Forms are also available at the North Liberty Community Center and all North Liberty banks.
Prizes will be awarded for the fastest male and female runners. Pre-registration is $10 per person by September 9 and $15 day of registration. Children under the age of 12 race for free, but if the runner would like a T-shirt, it must be purchased for $5. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
