On October 18, University Healthcare and The Wellness Center at Berkeley Medical Center will sponsor the 35th annual Apple Trample 5k, an official event of the Mountain State Apple Harvest Festival.
The Apple Trample is a great event for first-time walkers and competitive runners who want to set a new personal record. It is a USATF certified course that follows a gently rolling terrain and finishes on the track at Cobourn Field with spectators in the stands.
“This year we will have two start times, one for runners and one for walkers,” stated Brian White, race director. The race start will be at the McCormack Center on the campus of Berkeley Medical Center. Walkers will start at 10:30am, runners at 11:30am.
Registration information for the Apple Trample 5k may be found on line at www.appletrample.com. Race day registration begins on Saturday at 8 am at The Wellness Center. The registration fee on-line and race day is $25 with no guarantee of a t-shirt.
This year’s Apple Trample includes an official finisher’s red carpet photo, t-shirt (guaranteed for early registration participants), race bag, bag check-in service, shuttle service and complimentary race photos on the Apple Trample web site.
Proceeds from this year’s Apple Trample will benefit the Mountain State Apple Harvest Festival, and University Healthcare’s Cancer & Infusion Center, a department of Berkeley Medical Center.
Chris Amores and Liz Oates, Apple Trample 5k committee members, are heading up the sponsor solicitation and fund raising phase of the race. Sponsor levels range from Elite Sponsor at $5000 to Sprint Sponsor at $100. Information on sponsorships as well as a list of current sponsors is available on the Web site.
