The Westmoreland Yough Trail Chapter of the Regional Trail Corp. will hold its second annual 5K/10K run, 5K race walk and two-mile fun walk May 18.

The event will start at the Arthur H. King access area of the Youghiogheny River Trail in West Newton. Proceeds will be used by trail volunteers to maintain, preserve and enhance the Youghiogheny River Trail section of the Great Allegheny Passage.

Medals will be awarded to the overall male and female winners, plus the top three male and female age-group participants, in the 5K- and 10K-run and the 5K race walk. Medals also will be given to all run and walk participants 10 years old and younger. Medals will be awarded to the oldest and youngest participants of the two-mile fun walk.

Entry forms are available at the Regional Trail Corp. office in West Newton, from the bulletin boards along the trail, supporting businesses in the region and on the WYTC website, www.bikewytc.org.

Cost is $20 for the 5K- or 10K-run, or $35 for both; $20 for the 5K race walk; and $15 for the fun run. Those who register at the event should add $5.

Participants who register by April 18 will receive a T-shirt.
