The SIAC Scholarship 5K

Here's our latest race promo article that was just sent to the Staten Island Advance for publication. Read it here first before it goes to the press: Scholarship 5k Race - Sunday, October 21 The Staten Island Athletic Club will be hosting its annual Scholarship 5k race on Sunday, October 21 at 9:00 am at Silver Lake Park. The race begins at the Golf House at 915 Victory Boulevard. The race course travels around the reservoir and other parts of picturesque Silver Lake Park.... Proceeds from the race will support the Scholarship Fund that awards Staten Island high school seniors who participate in track. Since 2003, the Fund has awarded college scholarships to dozens of deserving high school seniors. In previous years, the Scholarship 5k Race was held at Freshkills Park and was called the Championship Cross-Country Scholarship 10k and 5k Races. This year the race was moved to Silver Lake Park to make it more easily accessible to the Staten Island running community. On race day, over 60 awards will be given out to all age groups including two new categories for the first firefighter and first police officer. For more information on donating to the Fund or to participate in the race event as a runner or a walker, go to www.statenislandac.org. Online registration closes on Friday, October 19 at 5:00 pm. Limited race day registration will be held on the morning of the race from 8:00am-8:50 am.
