SABATTUS — The Sabattus Rec Club will hold its 7th annual Blackjack 5k at the Oak Hill Middle School on Ball Park Road in Sabattus on Thursday night, July 18, beginning at 6 p.m. 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, but 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 will need parental permission. This will be a show-up, sign-up event, with no pre-registration required. Sign-up will begin at 5 p.m at a cost of $5.
