CHARLESTON, SC- The Charleston RiverDogs, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company and Coburg Dairy will host the Fourth Annual "Run Forrest Run 5K" on Saturday, May 19. The unique race, which begins at 5:30 pm at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, is held in conjunction with the RiverDogs' home game against the Rome Braves.

All proceeds from the event benefit the MUSC Storm Eye Institute.

The course is TAC certified, and features split times at each mile marker as well as a water station at the halfway point.

"This is an early-evening race that is unique in that it starts in front of Riley Park and finishes at home plate, and those that finish will be greeted by the RiverDogs' players and coaches," said coordinator Mimi Wilborn.

Advance race registration (received by May 11) fee is $20 and includes a race t-shirt, one ticket to that evening's RiverDogs game, an on-field awards ceremony, and a post-race party with refreshments provided by Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. The registration fee after May 11 is $25. Bubba Gump Shrimp Company's very own Forrest Gump will be on hand to start the rain-or-shine race and mingle with runners throughout the evening.

Additional RiverDogs game tickets are $5 each. Saturday's 7:05 pm game features the opportunity for lucky fans to have a chance to take home free money. It will also be umbrella giveaway night.

Registration forms are available at the RiverDogs Box Office at Riley Park, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, The Extra Mile Running Shop and online at www.riverdogs.com. For additional information, please call the RiverDogs at 843/723-7241.
