Pioneer Days 5k Challenge
Pioneer Days welcomes back the challenging 5k race through Gowanda's hills. The race will be held on Friday night, May 17 at 6:30 p.m. Runners may hang out after to enjoy live music and late evening fireworks.
Founder Jennifer Gernatt invites everyone from the Gowanda and surrounding area to come see if they are up for the challenge. "We had some local talent the first two years and hope to have them return to uphold their titles," Gernatt says. "However, if you are not a runner, come join the fun and walk the course, which is a beautiful scenic view of our area. There are door prizes, refreshments and awards given for age categories. It is well worth the registration fee."
Pre-registration for the race of $12 is due by May 4. Race day registration will be $15. Registrations and maps of the course may be picked up at Art's Grocery Store, Gowanda Central School, and many other local businesses, or contact Jennifer Gernatt at 532-0759.
There will also be a half-mile Fun Run for kids 12 and under. Cost is $3 to pre-register and $5 on race day.
All children will receive a prize for finishing and other trophies and awards will be given.
