Spud Run.

Can you believe it is that time or year again when they start harvesting potatoes? Well whether you want to believe it or not, fall is hear.

With that in mind it is time to start thinking about the SPUD RUN. This is a fun little run that has been put on for years by the Lopers in conjunction with the Merrill Potato Festival. The races start at 9:00 am at the corner of West Main street and HWY 39. If you head South through Merrill you'll see us set-up on the right. Race day registration starts at 8:00am and you can pre-register if you like. It makes it easier on the race directors if you do pre-register, so try to send it in early. After the race plan to enjoy the festivities of the Potato Festival and parade.

There is a 5 mile run and a 1 mile run/walk. The cost is $5. We'll be putting entry forms around. They'll be at The Ledge, GNC, Ella Redkey, Harbor Fitness and were ever else we can get them.

The proceeds from this event and all Linkville Lopers event go to help the club put on these local events and to raise money for our scholarship fund. We will be giving out first scholarships this year. There will be more to come about the scholarships in the next month.
