Linfield College students will host a Jingle All The Way 5K and children’s mile fun run on Saturday, Dec. 3, at 9 a.m. at Discovery Meadow Park in McMinnville.
Students in the Economics of Running class, taught by Professor Randy Grant, have spent the semester volunteering at local runs. They are learning about things that worked and things that didn’t work while planning their own run for the Linfield and McMinnville communities.
“The biggest thing I have learned from the class is how races are structured and planned,” said junior Angela Leingang, a business major.
Cost is $30 and increases to $35 on Saturday, Nov. 26. Students get a $10 discount if they use the promo code “Wildcat.” The children’s fun run is $10. All proceeds go to the Parker Archie Moore Scholarship Fund. Runners will receive a long-sleeved shirt, hot chocolate and cookies, and can take part in a costume contest.
