EMPHASIS: Public Invited To Get Ready, Get Set, Go! 5K

The Missouri State Highway Patrol Over The Edge team is preparing to take a leap of faith for Special Olympics Missouri. Over The Edge is a rappelling event that raises funds for Special Olympics Missouri athletes. The Patrol employees are taking part in this event on their own time, and have committed to raising at least $1,000 each to take part in Over The Edge.

To help send these employees Over The Edge, General Headquarters employees are sponsoring the "Get Ready, Get Set, Go!" 5K. The event will take place rain or shine on April 26, 2014, at the North Jefferson City Pavilion, Jefferson City, Missouri. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and the run starts at 9 a.m. The public is invited to take part in the 5K event. The entry fees are: $25 for adults; $10 for children under 16 years old if pre-registered by March 31, 2014. (Pre-registration will allow runners to designate their T-shirt size.) On race day, entry fees are $30 per adult and $15 per child (under 16 years of age). To register, go to www.mshp.dps.mo.gov, select "Statistics/Media", "News Releases". The registration form is posted with this news release.

Twenty-three Patrol employees have formed an Over The Edge team named “Livin’ On The Edge.” The team will take part in the Over The Edge event in October in Jefferson City.
