The Race start time is 6:00 PM!
Established in 1987, Gene's run for Special Olympics has become a local favorite. The four mile course starts in the Greenmont section of Morgantown, winds through South Park to White Park and returns to finish in front of that most venerable of local landmarks, Gene's Place. The summer weather and rolling course pose a real challenge, but it is a real challenge that is well rewarded: free suds, soft drinks, and fruit courtesy of Gene's provide participants an opportunity to cool down and socialize while waiting for the post-event awards presentations. Other features include T-shirts and more than 100 trophies donated by Morgantown Sports Center. An enjoyable and rewarding way to contribute to a worthy cause.
ENTRY FEES: Pre-registration is $10.00 if paid by July 28, 1999. Late registration after that is $12.00.
Race Day Registration will be at 4:30 PM in the parking lot at the corner of Wilson Ave. & Green Street.
