BlueClaws 5K Race Returns April 18th

February 21, 2010
LAKEWOOD, NJ - The BlueClaws will partner with the Ocean Running Club, Jersey Shore Running Club, and the Jersey Shore Council of Boy Scouts of America for their 2010 5K Race and One Mile Fun Run to be held April 18th at FirstEnergy Park.

The Fun Run begins at 10 am and the 5K will follow at 10:30. Both races will end right on the field. Further, all participants will receive a ticket to that day's BlueClaws game (1:05 pm) and a BlueClaws 5K t-shirt.

"This year's 5K is going to be truly an event," said BlueClaws General Manager Geoff Brown. "For runners, the chance, to race on our field plus get a free ticket to a BlueClaws game is special, and we have three great partners to work with. We're really looking forward to the event."

Runners can register by sending a registration form or by calling Charles Keller at 732-901-7000 ext 117. Registration is $20 for adults and $10 for children ages 12 and under through April 12th and $25 and $15 after April 12th.

Members of the Jersey Shore Council of Boy Scouts of America will race in the event as part of the first step in the scouts' Physically Fit Program.

"Being in strong physical condition is a very important part of scouting," said Craig Shelley, Executive Director of the JSCBSA. "This is an important step for our scouts and we're really looking forward to the partnership with the BlueClaws."

The BlueClaws will kick off their 10th season on April 16th when they raise the 2009 South Atlantic League Championship banner. Ticket packages and group outings are available by calling 732-901-7000 option 3.
