“It’s the best in town!”
Run Saturday
to benefit center
By J. TRIGG CRAWFORD
Battalion Reporter
“Strong legs run that weak legs
might walk” is the theme for this
year’s Spring Olympics 10,000
Meter Fun Run, sponsored by Mc
Donald’s Restaurant to benefit the
Brazos Valley Rehabilitation Center.
The 6.2-mile race, open to all run
ners and joggers, will start at 8 a.m.
Saturday. The route will be from
Briarcrest to the East Bypass. The
entry fee is $5 for those who don’t
want to buy a T-shirt and $7.50 for
those who do. Registration forms and
more information are available at
McDonald’s and the Brazos Valley
Rehabilitation Center, and should
be turned in by Thursday.
Prizes for the top finishers will be
donated by the Athletic Attic,
Locker Room, Outfitters and
Wyatt’s Sporting Goods.
On the same day of the Fun Run,
the Spring Olympics track meet will
also try to raise money for the center.
It is expected to draw 1,000 children
and is open to handicapped and
non-handicapped children between
the first and eighth grades.
The meet will be held at Bryan
High School’s stadium.
Registration will start at 8 a. m. and
opening ceremonies at 9 a.m.
Penny Franklin, student coor
dinator for both events said that the
opening ceremonies will be like
those of the real Olympics.
“The ceremonies will start with
the raising of the flag by area Boy
Scouts,” Franklin said. “An invoca
tion will be given, the children will
walk in with their schools while the
band plays, and then a torch will be
lit and carried by a handicapped
child.”
All children participating are re
quired to have sponsors who will pay
at least 25 cents. All money collected
will go to the Rehabilitation Center.
The two who collect the most
money will receive either a free,
one-night stay at the Astroworld
Hotel and free passes for a family of
four, or a portable AM/FM 8-track
tape player.
Events include a frisbee throw, a
softball throw, the high jump, an ob
stacle course and several running
events. There will be a special race of
champions for handicapped chil
dren, and a wheelchair and crutches
race for handicapped and non
handicapped children.
The Texas A&M women’s gymnas
tics team and Texas A&M’s gymnas
tic club will present tumbling exer
cises, and the A&M Consolidated
High School Band will play the
music for the opening ceremonies.
