“Grease is the Word” 5K Walk-Run in Dayton, Sat June 6th at 7:30am: You’ve heard of people having “sing-a-longs” with the movie Grease? Well, Healthy Communities’ Dayton Stand Tall is putting a new twist on the idea and having a community “run-a-long” where you can run in Grease-inspired costumes if you like!

Stand Tall’s annual 5K events benefit Stand Tall Scholarships for local students.

Cost per adult: $20 with no shirt purchase, or $25 with shirt purchase
Cost per youth:  $10 with no shirt purchase, or $15 with shirt purchase
Cost for group of five is just $25 with no shirt purchase, or $50 with shirts purchase

Course Description: Runners/Walkers will follow a well marked course consisting of dirt, sand, and pavement. Dayton Stand Tall leader Jocelyn Lozano noted, “The race will take place regardless of weather conditions.” Water and snacks will be provided as part of the registration fee.

Either register the day of the event, or mail registration forms in advance to Healthy Communities Coalition, Attention: Jocelyn, P.O. Box 517, Dayton NV 89403.

After the 5K, check out Oodles of Noodles, an annual street fair and pasta cook-off in Old Town Dayton organized by the local Chamber of Commerce.
