ADRIAN, Mich. – Alpha Phi and Alpha Tau Omega of Adrian College welcomes the public to a 5k run/walk on April 4 at 3 P.M.

Parking will be available behind the softball fields.

Participants will have a chance to take part in some small games and relays during the run/walk. All money raised will go to the Alpha Phi Foundation for cardiac care and research as well as The Hope Center on behalf of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.

The cost to register is $15 per person or $25 for a family; this will be split between the two Greek philanthropies at the end of the run/walk. Participants may register the day of the event at the track; donations can be made the day of the event as well. Donations of any kind are greatly appreciated.
