Running event to benefit TY&FS

Tahoe Youth & Family Services’ inaugural 5k Fun Run will be June 9 starting at 8am during Carson Valley Days.

The theme of Carson Valley Days this year is Fun in the Great Outdoors, and the fun run will carry this theme as well. Participants who choose to come dressed in the theme have a chance to win prizes.

Cost is $30 for adults, $10 for 17 and younger. The deadline to sign up online is June 8. There will be a chance to register the morning of the run, but fees go up $5.

All proceeds go to help the nonprofit with mentoring programs.
