SABATTUS — The Sabattus Rec Club will hold its seventh annual Blackjack 5K Thursday, July 18, beginning at 6 p.m. at Oak Hill Middle School on Ball Park Road. This will be more of a social, non-competitive event, with the main focus being to get out and get some exercise and to maybe get some lucky cards in the process.
Participants will get a card at the 2-mile mark, and another at the 3-mile mark. Anyone getting Blackjack (Ace and a face card or a ten) can call out and will win a prize. If not, they can get another card at the finish line and try for a total of 21 with their three cards. All 21s will also win prizes.
The course is a moderately hilly 3.1 miles. The first male and female finishers will be awarded prizes; however, fast times will not be needed to win most prizes.There will also be many other prize drawings.
The Blackjack 5K is open to runners/walkers of all ages; those under 18 require parental permission. This will be a show-up, sign-up event, with no pre-registration required. Sign-up will begin at 5 p.m with a $5 entry fee.
