[deborah magaldi]

Dust off those running shoes! The 25th annual Jefferson Lab Run-A-Round 
will be held Wednesday, May 12 from 2:30-6 p.m.  Laboratory staff, 
users, full-time contractors and immediate family members are invited to 
participate. Staff and users that participate can receive a free 2010 
JLab T-shirt by turning in their Run-A-Round bibs at the T-shirt 
distribution tent right after the run/walk.

The event will begin in front of CEBAF Center at 2:30 p.m. with the 
debut of the 2010 T-shirt. The run/walk will start promptly at 3 p.m.; 
please note this is an EARLIER start time from years past. The run will 
cover a 2.5 kilometer (~1.5 mile) course, and the Peninsula Track Club 
will collect official times at the finish line.

Food and beverages, music and the awards presentations will follow the 
race on the field behind the SURA Residence Facility. Awards will go to 
the top three male and female finishers in each age group and to the top 
three overall fastest male and female finishers.

*Event Will Temporarily Close JLab Roads *
