The Wellington High School Track and Field team is once again hosting their 5k race and 1 mile Fun Run Fundraiser.
This years theme: Heroes and Villains!
Come on out, rain or shine (or snow!!), March 21st to the Wellington Dukes football stadium and support a great team of young athletes!
Be dressed to impress your favorite hero (real or make-believe) or their villainous counterparts!
Gates open at 8:00 am, 5k race starts at 9:00 am. Registration will also be available in person the day of the race for $30.
The 5k will take off from the track where you will leave the stadium and loop the area around town and finally finish where you started on the track.

All participants will receive a "Heroes and Villains" Dukes 5k finisher T-shirt and a custom Dukes 5k finisher medal.
The 5k will be a timed race. Overall male and female winner and age group winner awards will be presented after the race in the field house.
