The following is a release:
The village of Covington will welcome back the cancer-fighting 5k for its third year. The Herbie Fuzz 5k will be Aug. 18 at Covington High School with an 8 a.m. bird bomb start.
All proceeds raised will be divided equally between the Ohio State University James Cancer Center and Good Samaritan North Cancer Centers. The 5k event offers opportunities for runners, walkers, strollers and dogs, with prizes being awarded to the top three male and female finishers in each age group. Prizes also will be offered to the first stroller and first dog to cross.
