The Clarendon Lions Club will host the ninth annual Chance Mark Jones Roar & Run 5K and first Polar Bear Plunge this Saturday, April 17, at the Clarendon Aquatic Center.
The events seek to raise awareness of Child Abuse and are held in honor of the late Chance Mark Jones, who passed away in January 2011 as a result of abuse.
Registrations for the 5K and plunge are open through the day of the event for $25 each event or $40 for a combo registration.
The Lions Club is also encouraging all participants to wear costumes for both the 5K and the plunge with a prize being award to the best dressed person in each competition. The crazier the costume, the better, the club says.
The year’s 5K will begin at 9:00 a.m. Following the race, at about 10:30, the Polar Bear Plunge will take place inside the Aquatic Center, with registered plungers being the first people to jump into Clarendon’s brand new swimming pool.
Race and plunge registrations are available at the Clarendon Visitor Center at the Mulkey Theatre, at the Enterprise, or online at https://bit.ly/2Qp85lE.
