Cross Country 5k Run and Walk Supporting Student Textbook Scholarships
April 28th, 2012 8am
Bridgeview Golf Course
This run/walk will have special appeal to Central Ohio runners because it will take place on a unique venue: the picturesque Bridgeview Golf Course located on Agler Road next to Alum Creek. The rolling 5k (3.1mile) course will take runners over and between course fairways on a path that will provide a few climbs, fast grassy downhills and a flat finish around the driving range. The looping course is also spectator friendly.
Our Purpose
This event, sponsored by the Staff Advisory Council of Columbus State, supports book scholarships for Columbus State Community College students. The cost of books is a significant and often overlooked cost of attending college. While every effort is made to provide students affordable options, sometimes there is no way around the costs of up to date, high quality textbooks. Your participation will help us endow book scholarships so all students can “cross the finish line” of their education.
Enjoy a spring morning "on the green" by taking on the Cougar Challenge to run, walk and support Columbus State Students.
