Linda Yalem Run to be held Oct. 2
The Linda Yalem Run to benefit rape prevention through the Linda Yalem
Memorial Scholarship at UB will be held at 10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 2
outside Alumni Arena. The 5-kilometer run, now in its fifth year, is
named in memory of Linda Yalem, a UB student who was assaulted and
killed while training for the New York City Marathon.
	With the race now part of The Buffalo News Runner of the Year
series, it is expected to attract 1,500 runners, says race director
Nan Harvey. Cost of the race is $12 for community runners and $14 for
anyone registering the day of the race. Participants will receive a
long-sleeved T-shirt designed by Custom Tee.
	Check-in for runners the day of the race will be held from
8:30-9:30 a.m. in the main lobby of Alumni Arena. Awards will be
presented to overall male and female finishers and top three female
and male finishers in various age categories. Separate prizes will be
presented to top UB finishers in various categories, including race
walkers for the first time.
	Participants in wheelchairs are encouraged. Registration forms
are available at Alumni Arena, the Student Union and Harriman Hall.
