Three Rivers College ‘Run 4 The Arts’ supports fine arts education

Three Rivers College will host the fifth annual “Run 4 The Arts” four-mile run/walk on Saturday, Sept. 12, at 9 a m. at its Poplar Bluff Campus. The event is being held to raise funds toward an endowed scholarship for fine arts (Music and Art) students at Three Rivers College.

“Three Rivers is proud to be a supporter of fine arts education, and Run 4 The Arts helps keep our fine arts programs strong,” said Michelle Reynolds, director of development for Three Rivers College. “We can’t wait to get everyone on campus to help our fine arts students.”

Registration deadline is 9 a.m. Sept. 11. The entry fee is $20 for an individual 4-mile run/walk, 1-mile walk, or virtual participation. The entry fee includes a T-shirt, guaranteed for those who pre-register by Aug. 21, and also available to late registrants while supplies last.

Packet pick-up is available on the day of the race beginning at 8 a.m. Strollers are welcome in the run/walk. The course begins and ends at the Tinnin Fine Arts Center.

Trophies will be awarded to the top overall male and female, with medals awarded for various age groups. Virtual participants are not eligible for trophies/medals.

All participants and spectators are asked to abide by social distancing guidelines and must wear a face covering if 6 feet of social distancing is not possible or they go indoors.
