The Freeport Rotary Club's Close to the Coast 5k and 10k race will be held on Saturday, June 22 at 9 a.m. with all events held rain or shine. The course is run on quiet roads and forest trails along the ocean in beautiful Winslow Park, Freeport.

All race proceeds support the Freeport Rotary Club Educational Scholarship Program. For the past 18 years, the Freeport Rotary Club has given over $90,000 in scholarships raised from this race and an additional $60,000 from other fundraising activities.

This year the Rotary is offering a free post-race barbeque to all racers and their children.

Registration for the race is $20 with guaranteed T-shirt through June 13, 2013. Through race day, registration is still $20 but T-shirts are available only while supplies last. Advance registration is available at www.freeport-rotary.org. Day of the race registration is from 7:15 to 8:45 a.m.
