Beef and Eggs 5K registration underway

Posted

BROOKINGS – Registration is underway for the 18th Beef and Eggs 5K, which is 8 a.m. on July 9.

A magnet for the region’s top runners, as well as moms with strollers, the Beef and Eggs 5K kicks off Arts Festival weekend in Brookings and is sponsored by Prairie Striders Running Club.

Staged on the Brookings County Courthouse lawn, the course snakes through downtown and residential Brookings, passes near Pioneer Park and the children’s museum, and goes through Hillcrest Park. The course is well marked with very light traffic.

The race was begun in 2005 by Kevin Bjerke and Ryan Egeberg while they were junior teammates on the SDSU track and cross country program. They continue as race directors today and the event serves as a summer gathering time for current and past SDSU runners.
