Fredonia's annual Slush Rush 5K is set for Sunday, March 5. The race draws runners from all over Western New York and raises money for the Xylia Peterson '85 Memorial Fund established through the Fredonia College Foundation to benefit international students.
The fund was created in memory of Mrs. Peterson, a Fredonia alumna and staff member.
Registration and packet pick-up begins at 7:30 a.m. in the Williams Center and the race begins promptly at 9:00 a.m., with a post-race party to follow. More information on the course and race-day specifics can be found online.
Students, faculty/staff, and community members are encouraged to run, walk, or volunteer. Race registration is available online or in the Fredonia Ticket Office in the Williams Center until Thursday, March 2. Student registration is $15 and general registration is $25. The first 150 entrants get a short sleeved, dri-fit t-shirt.
Volunteers can also sign up online to assist with the event.
