Final plans are coming together for the Eleventh Annual Summer Kick-Off Fun Run that will be held Saturday, June 8, 2002, at Clear Creek High School in League City, TX. Channel 2 news anchor Khambrel Marshall will be the official race starter. In this role, Mr. Marshall will also present the awards to the overall and age group winners. Before the awards ceremony, the personable Mr. Marshall will be able to meet his fans.

In what may be a first for a fun run, the Summer Kick-Off Run will be releasing its own music CD at the run. This CD, recorded by Juan Manuel of Artist Unlimited, is a set of instrumental songs chosen especially for their meaning to the run. Overall and age group 5K first place winners will receive a copy of the CD and others will be able to purchase it for a nominal fee at the run.

This event includes a 5K run, a 3K walk, and a 1K kid's run (age 12 and under). The entry fee for the kid's run and the walk is $12 and the 5K run is $15 ($5 late fee after May 31). Entry forms can be obtained by calling (281) 482-0982. Summer Kick-Off Fun Run information and secure on-line registration are available through the RTN web site or at www.JamesGlennRun.com.

Proceeds will be used to provide student scholarships through the James Glenn Foundation. This year scholarships totaling $7000 were awarded to students at Clear Creek, Clear Lake, and Clear Brook high schools.

Sponsors of the Summer Kick-Off Fun Run are Star Toyota, Maxim Insurance, Jana Landry Attorney at Law, Christus St. John Sports Medicine Center, Esteban's Cafe and Cantina, J. Derek Tieken DDS, SR Signs, Cimarron, Coldwell Banker United/Claudia and Ralph Parr, and Sam and Susan Juliano.
