DEQ, Sandy City to Host Choose Clean Air 5K Walk/Run

(Salt Lake City, Utah) - Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and Sandy City Parks and Recreation will sponsor the Choose Clean Air 5K Walk/Run on Saturday, April 30, 2005, at 10 a.m., at Hidden Valley Park, 11600 S. Wasatch Dr., in Sandy.

This summer, DEQ will again be encouraging Wasatch Front residents to “Choose Clean Air” by reducing the number of short trips they take by car and instead try walking, biking, and carpooling to get around their communities. The goal is to reduce summer smog.

“The walk/run will be a great opportunity for you to see how relaxing and healthful it can be to get out and walk or run,” said DEQ’s Renette Anderson.

The cost to participate is $10 per person or $6 per person for a family of three or more before April 22. After April 22, the cost is $15 per person. No family discount.

A free event T-shirt will be given to those who register before April 22. Participants who take the “Clean Air” pledge to reduce air pollution during the summer will receive a free pedometer.

Sandy City Parks and Recreation is accepting registrations in person at 400 E. 8680 South, weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; by mail to Sandy City Parks and Recreation, 400 E. 8680 South, Sandy, UT 84070; or online beginning April 1 at www.sandy.utah.gov.

After April 22, those wishing to participate can register in person at Sandy City Parks and Recreation or until 15 minutes before the walk/run at Hidden Valley Park.
