The Flagler County Chamber of Commerce will host the seventh-annual Run for Your Life walk/run 5K/10K at 8 a.m. Saturday, March 22, in Town Center’s Central Park.

Awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers, the top male and female master runners and the top three finishers in each age group. Kids are also welcome (ages 9 and under are free). There will be a complimentary quarter-mile fun run beginning at 9 a.m.

For students ages 10 to 17, cost for the 5K is $10 and $15 for the 10K.

All runners and walkers begin from the same starting line, and 10K runners are directed to the second leg of their course before approaching the 5K finish line.

Preregistration, which ends March 19, is $25 per person for the 5K and $30 for the 10K.

Race-day registration begins at 6:45 a.m. and ends one hour later. Cost is $30 for the 5K and $35 for the 10K.

Runners may pick up packets before the race, or the day before (Friday, March 21) between 1-5 p.m., at the chamber.

Snacks will be provided for runners/walkers after the event. Participants should enter Central Park through the Bulldog Drive entrance off State Road 100, next to Flagler Palm Coast High School.
