On a recent Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, event organizer Larry Knoblich said, this year’s Runnin O’ the Green will honor the Jack Brown family for its years of support for the event.  The late Jack Brown was director of Jamestown Parks and Recreation Department many years ago when the Runnin O’ the Green changed its route to pass through McElroy Park.

Larry says last year, 1,550 people participated which was down from 1,770 people the previous year.  Proceeds from the 2019 Run provided $25,000 in support to Elks Camp Grassick and about $10,000 to local cancer patients in the area.

Preregistration is open for the event at a cost of $30 which includes a commemorative T-shirt. Registrations that include a shirt must be received by Wednesday, March 18. Fees can be paid at Wildside Creations where registration forms are available.

People can register early at the Elks, where the Elkettes will provide early registration from 4 to 9 p.m. Friday, March 20.   Early registration is encouraged.

Registration is also available at the Elks and on the day of the Run along with Frontier Fort and Cork & Barrel Liquors. Registration on the day of the Run is $10 but does not include the T-shirt
