The 37th annual 8.8K Loop Run is Saturday and begins at 9 a.m., on Spring Street, in the center of town. The course heads east out of town, on Warbass Way, follows along Turn Point, to Pear Point, then climbs Argyle Avenue’s “heartbreak hill,” to the finish line at the County Fair.

A county fair tradition, the Loop Run is a fun run or walk for people of all ages. Registration fee includes entrance to the fair on the day of the race and commemorative Loop Run T-shirt.

The run is followed by an awards ceremony, with the top three finishers in each of five-year age categories receiving a medal.

Hosted by Island Rec, this year’s Loop Run is sponsored by Xtreme Fitness; proceeds from the event help fund Island Rec’s Scholarship program for kids.

Bibs and T-shirts can be picked up Friday at the Island Rec office, 580 Guard St., 1-5 p.m., or Saturday during day-of-run registration at Wells Fargo Bank parking lot, beginning at 7:30 a.m.

Fees: $20, 12 and under, $25 age 13 and over. For more information, www.islandrec.org.
