ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- This year's Making Tracks 5K will be held April 21 at Anniston Army Depot.

The runners will step off at 8 a.m.

Awards will be presented for the top three finishers overall as well as for the top three in each age group for men and women.

Cost to pre-register for the race is $20 and pre-registration is open until April 12.

There are discounts available for members of the military, students and members of the Anniston Runners Club.

As in years past, the event will be a Grand Prix race for the Anniston Runners Club.

Grand Prix races are area races which members of the running club have designated as their top races.

Each year, members are asked to vote on their favorite races of the year based on the amenities of the race, its impact to the community, what the course is like and a variety of other criteria.

For those who want to get their children involved, a one-mile fun run will be held following completion of the 5K race.

Additionally, inflatable bounce houses will be available for children at the Physical Fitness Center.

The depot is seeking volunteers who want to assist the day of the race.

Volunteers should contact Amanda Mullinax at 256-235-7445 or Gerrad Slaton at 256-235-6385 to sign up.

Registration forms for the Making Tracks 5K are available at the Physical Fitness Center and other MWR locations.
