Fifth annual Merrill Lynch Bull Run to benefit United Way

Lace up your shoes and stretch your calves for the fifth annual Merrill Lynch Bull Run presented by The Sailfish Striders on March 6 in Stuart.

Although runners aren’t actually chased by bulls during the 5k run/walk, they do race the clock for bragging rights with hopes of winning the coveted Bull Run trophy while raising money for United Way of Martin County.

Individual runners can compete in age groups or round up three friends and run as a team. Team divisions include all-male, all-female or mixed.

Registration begins at 7 a.m. and the race starts at 8 a.m. near the Merrill Lynch office, 2301 S.E. Monterey Road, Stuart. The entry fee is $20 per person before Feb. 26 and $25 after. The first 100 entrants also receive a free race T-shirt.

Entry forms are available at www.LIVEUNITEDmc.org, by calling Todd Weissing at (772) 223-6743 or at Fleet Feet, 2440 N.W. U.S. 1, Stuart.
