The city of Kent’s annual Kent Cornucopia Days 5K Fun Run will change locations this summer.
Due to sandbags along the Green River Trail and levee construction taking place this summer, the Saturday, July 14 race will start and end at the Riverbend Golf Complex rather than the Three Friends Fishing Hole Park, according to the city Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department.
The course will be similar to the Christmas Rush Fun Run. Parking will be available at Russell Road Park (24400 Russell Road) and Kent Elementary School (24700 64th Ave. S.). Parking will not be available at Riverbend Golf Complex.
Registration forms and online registration (www.active.com) will be available in late April.
Day-of-race registration begins at 7:30 a.m. with the race starting at 9 a.m. Registration through July 12 is $10 or $25 with technical T-shirt. Day-of-race registration is $15 and $30 with a technical T-shirt while supplies last. Participants ages 60 and older run for free courtesy of the Tab Wizard.
