Big Brothers Big Sisters 5K Race Information

<p>When you support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lorain County, you’re not just participating in an event – you’re joining a movement! Together, we are empowering the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers. Research shows that under-resourced children and youth who have volunteer mentors and support services are far more likely to attend school regularly, thrive academically, exhibit healthy behaviors, build nurturing relationships, exude high self-esteem, and graduate from high school with a plan for the future. </p> <p>Your support and the support of others help our children achieve great things! Through one-on-one mentoring relationships with caring adults, we empower children ages 6 – 19 to dream big, build resilience, and unlock their full potential. Moreover, our support services strengthen our mentoring with social and emotional learning, academic enrichment and tutoring, career and college readiness programming, summer camps, a Learning Resource Center, and family engagement activities. <br /><br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 );text-decoration:underline">Start Times</span></strong></span></p> <p>Registration and Packet Pick-Up: 8:00am<br /><br />5K &amp; 1 Mile Run/Walk race start time: 9:00am</p> <p>Awards to be announced around 10:00am<br /><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 );text-decoration:underline"><br /><br />Distances</span></strong></span><br />5K (run or walk)<br />1 Mile (walk)<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 );text-decoration:underline"><br />Timing</span></strong></span><br />5K: MyLaps BibTag chip timing<br />1 Mile: Untimed<br /><br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 );text-decoration:underline"><strong>Registration</strong></span></span><br />Race-day registration begins at 8:00am inside the Lorain County Community College, inside the Physical Education Building (1005 Abbe Rd N, Elyria, OH 44135).
