From the Organizer
Welcome to the 6th Annual BZ Classic 5K! This race is sponsored by the Elk County Striders, and is to honor Mr. Ben Zappa who is one of the founding members of the Striders' club back in 1983. This 5k runs along the Clarion-Little Toby rail-trail in historic Ridgway, PA. Each pre-registered entrant will receive a race shirt if pre-registered by June 15th.
Awards to 1st, 2nd, & 3rd in each male and female age group. Pre-registration is $30. WE WILL HAVE RACE DAY REGISTRATION!! No extra fee for race day registration! However, NO SHIRTS will be available for race day registrants!
Here are a few simple things:
1) Depending on number of participants, runners will be sent out in waves. Timing chips will be disposable, so there is no need to turn them in post-race.
2) Packets will contain bibs, pins, timing chips, and t-shirt.
Come join the fun on a beautiful course, and help us honor a running legend known as "BZ"!
