The first in a three-part challenge series of 5K Run/Walks will take place Saturday, Oct. 8 beginning at 7:30 a.m.

Saturday's race is scheduled to start at 7:30 a.m. at 1100 S. Holly Street, located by Memorial Stadium and the track complex at Owens Field. More information can be found at www.TheFryeFoundation.org.
