With Community Days quickly approaching, there are a few events that advanced registration is recommended for in order to participate.
The Henderson Community Days 5K and Kids 1K will take place Saturday morning with pre-registrations (for registration discount and t-shirt) due July 6. You can register at www.HendersonNE.com/cdays by using the online registration through Get Me Registered or printing the form and turning it into the Chamber office. You can also request an email form by emailing hendersoncdc@gmail.com. Registration will be accepted after July 6, as well as the day of the event, however it will cost more to participate and a t-shirt will not be guaranteed. The 5K run begins at 7:15 a.m. and the 1K begins at 8:15 a.m. Runners should plan to check-in no later than 30 minutes prior to the race start at the downtown park on 14th Street.
The 2nd Annual Co-Ed Softball Tournament will take place on Saturday, starting at 3 p.m. This single elimination tournament for teams of 10 or more costs $10 per person on the team.
