The early bird deadline for this year’s Chance Mark Jones Roar & Run 5K is this Friday, March 28, and organizers are encouraging everyone to sign up early.
Those who register for the event by Friday will be guaranteed to receive the commemorative T-shirt for the event. Registrations will remain open through the day of the event, but those registering after March 28 will not receive a T-shirt.
The 13th annual Chance Mark Jones Roar & Run 5K will be held Saturday, April 26, in front of the Donley County Courthouse. The Clarendon Lions Club is hosting the event again in memory of the late Chance Mark Jones to raise awareness of Child Abuse. Jones passed away in January 2011 as a result of abuse.
The year’s 5K will again start and end at the Courthouse and will run through the city, around Prospect Park, and past several historic sites. The race will begin at 8:30 a.m.
Those registering can run or walk the 5K, which is about 3.1 miles, or people can also choose the “Sleep In” option, registering as a donation, getting the T-shirt, but sitting out the event at home.
Registration is $30 per person and can be done in person at the Clarendon Visitor Center inside Mulkey Theatre or at the Enterprise. Online registration is available at ClarendonTX.com.
Proceeds from the annual 5K support the charitable activities of the Clarendon Lions Club, including hosting the local office of The Bridge – Children’s Advocacy Center eyeglasses for local school children, scholarships, the Toys for Joy program, holiday food baskets, and more.
