Registrations are pouring in and there is still time for you to register for the Milton Riverwalk Run 5K set for Oct. 4 in historic downtown Milton. Three lucky runners could walk away with $250 as well as one school, but the key is you have to register and be there after the race. Two of the awards are held if a man or woman breaks the course record at the Riverwalk Run 5K. Last year Susan Smith walked away with $250 after she broke Sandy Eubanks record set in 2010 by posting a time of 20:12. The men’s record was set in 2011, when Nate Crum posted a time of 15:46. Crum, who moved to Milton just days before the race, registered after noticing a poster for the race while getting his utilities turned on at City Hall. The easiest way to win is by participating and knowing your bib number. One bib number will be selected at random and if that runner or walker is present, they will earn $250. But the key for your chance to win is that you have to register and be present after the race. Speaking of after the race, the CrossTown Band will be performing a special edition of Bands on the Blackwater at 5:30 p.m. So even if you don’t run, you can come to historic downtown Milton and listen to the sounds of the CrossTown Band near the corner of Elmira and Pine Street. Finally students and teachers can help their high, middle, or elementary school win $250.
