This Saturday, April 25, Water for Sudan, Ithaca College's chapter of the international service organization that seeks to raise money to sponsor fresh water wells in Sudan, will hold a 5K Run/Walk. Pre-registration will be held until Friday afternoon, and race-day registration begins at 10am. 

Students, faculty and community members can pre-register for $5 from 10am until 2pm in Textor and from 2pm until 5pm in the fitness center. Race-day registration costs $7 and occurs outside of Butterfield Stadium on Saturday at 10am.

The 5K stretches all across campus but begins outside Butterfield Stadium, and starts promptly at 10:30am, so participants are asked to arrive at 10:00am. 

Prizes will be offered for first place, and refreshments will be served after the race.

100% of the profits from the event will go towards Water for Sudan's year-long goal of raising $5,000, the cost of sponsoring a well for a village in Sudan, where potable water is severely limited.
