Registration: Fire Up 5K to Benefit the Tim Larson Memorial Fund

Registration is open for the 2013 Fire Up 5K walk/run to benefit the Tim Larson Memorial Fund.

The race is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 28 behind STMA Middle School West, 11343 50th Street NE in Albertville. Registration begins at 8 a.m. with the race starting at 9 a.m.  

Preregistration is $20 and accepted until Sept. 21 to be guaranteed a t-shirt. Race day registration is $25, extra shirts available while they last. Kids races will be an option this year, register onsite. The registration fee is $10 for students 18 and under that participate in the 5K.

The run is in honor of former St. Michael-Albertville Schools teacher Tim Larson, who was killed in October 2011. According to organizers Larson was an “avid runner” that finished 15 marathons during his lifetime. Runners are encouraged to wear blaze orange to show “support for Tim and his love for running.”

The course goes through the city of Albertville, the same course as the Albertville Friendly City Days 5K. Kids races will follow on the track.
