Make-A-Wish Cobb 5K Registration Open
The race, which will begin and end in Marietta Square, will be held on Oct. 6. at 8:00am.
Cobb County runners, walkers, joggers, and exercise lovers are invited to sign up for the 12th Annual Cobb County 5K benefiting Make-A-Wish Georgia, which will be held in early October.
The 2011 iteration of the race raised $40,000 for Make-A-Wish, which allows children with life-threatening illnesses to see their wishes come true. The money raised in last year's race went towards granting the wishes of six children in the local area.
Registration is open now for the 2012 race. Before Sept. 28, registration fees will be $20 for the untimed 5K and $25 for the timed 5K. After the 28th, the fees will increase to $25 and $35, respectively. Children from six to twelve years old are $10, and children under five get in free.
