Run your ice off, Temple
DAVID STONE | OUR TOWN TEMPLE
The Jeremiah’s Italian Ice Spring Leap 5K and Fun Run will be Saturday, March 25, at the popular dessert shop, 7290 Honeysuckle Drive in West Temple.
The 3.1-mile race features a course that starts and finishes by Jeremiah’s Italian Ice. The 5K begins at 8:30 a.m. followed by the Fun Run at 10 a.m.
“We expect a lot of people to come out for a fun morning of fitness,” said Lynn Reichl, owner of Jeremiah’s. “100 percent of the proceeds for this race go straight to funding Parks & Recreation programming and back to the residents of Temple. We don’t keep a dime.”
“This race is a great way to give back to the city of Temple, the city I live in and love,” Reichl said. “It also brings fitness and families together. The wonderful stories that result from these events are what I live for.”
“All ages, all fitness levels and even dogs are welcome to participate, she said.
Pre-registration is $20 for the 5k and $10 for the Fun Run. Registration closes March 19, but race-day registration will be available for a few dollars more using personal devices (phones, iPads) and credit cards only.
Awards will be presented to the overall male and female finishers, as well as top three finishers per age group. Age groups are 9 and under, 10 to 14, 15 to 19, 20 to 24…and continuing through 75+.
The event will be chip timed and access to free professional race photos is included.
