Boone County Relay for Life will be changing the pace this year with a morning relay on Saturday, June 23. This year’s relay will also include a special event — a 5K fun run/walk — for those who want to test themselves in a distance event.
All ages are invited to come and help “Beat Cancer One Piece at a Time” at the Boone Central track.
Guest speaker and author Jim Sizemore will speak at 10 a.m. The silent auction will end at 10:30 a.m., and closing ceremonies will be before noon.
On-site registration will open at 7:30 a.m., and the 5K will begin at 8 a.m. Survivor lap will be at 9:30 a.m. Silent auction will end at 10:30 a.m., and closing ceremonies will be before noon.
Puzzle pieces to honor loved ones will be available for purchase at $5 each from any relay team member and at the event. A chef will be making custom omelettes on-site, and the Knights of Columbus will hold a pancake feed on Sunday, June 24, with proceeds also going toward Relay for Life. Everyone is invited to take part in this unique morning event.
Relay for Life will be Saturday
