Chili Trot 5K Run & 2K Run/Walk, Saturday Oct 1, 2011     

 

The Chili Trot is back for its 4th Year.  The race itself starts at 9:00 AM down at the AY McDonald Park (same place as fireworks) and is usually over with by 10:00 (clean up and all).  But help is needed for this race and we need 15 volunteers to be at AY McDonald Park at 7:00 to help make sure the course is properly marked, the timing equipment is all set and racer registration is ready to go by 7:30.  At the end, help is also needed to retrieve racer numbers, line up winners by age group and of course, hand out prizes.  All in all, this is a low labor, fun event and it's over quick so you can enjoy the Chili Cook Off later on in the day.  Specifics about the race can be found on our website (www.dubuquejaycees.org ) or can be directed to James Bemboom or Derek Combs.
