Third Annual 5K Run/Walk for Scholarships

UC Clermont College will host its Third Annual UC Clermont 5K Run/Walk for Scholarships on Saturday, Oct. 23 at 9:30 a.m. at UC East in Batavia.

“Last year, the event raised over $12,500 toward scholarships at UC Clermont and this year we’re going to raise even more. Encourage your family, friends and neighbors to join you in starting a team and entering together,” said Meredith Delaney, director of development at UC Clermont College and race organizer.

“I can’t think of a better return on investment than providing the gift of education” said Delaney. “We hope to have another great turnout from our community to help UC Clermont College provide scholarships to our deserving students, all while having fun,” Delaney said.

Race registration is $15 for all students (in advance, $20 day of the race) $20 non-students in advance (online by Oct. 20, postmarked by Oct. 16) or $25 the day of the race.  Not a walker or runner?  You can Sleep in for Scholarships for a $20 donation.  Race registration is available online at

All proceeds will benefit the UC Clermont College Scholarship Fund. Sponsors for the event include Duke Energy, Mercy Hospital Clermont, TQL, International Paper, PNC Bank, Midwestern Plumbing Service, Chem Tec, Chick-fil-A and Panera Bread.
