Register now for Five Points of Life Kids Marathon The 2014 Citrus Five Points of Life Kids Marathon is coming Feb. 28 in Lecanto, and by registering before Jan. 17, there is no charge for participants. This annual event is equal parts fun and fitness, and participants can start logging their miles today. Five Points of Life is a foundation started by LifeSouth Community Blood Centers to raise awareness of the five ways to share life with others through the donation of blood, apheresis, marrow, cord blood and organs and tissue. It also offers classroom programs to students in the Citrus County area that teach the science and social responsibility of donating. The kid’s marathon promotes fitness and offers lessons in goal setting. Participants in kindergarten through eighth grade will run or walk the full 26.2 mile marathon a little bit at a time, logging their distance as they go. Then on Feb. 28 at 6 p.m. at the Lecanto High School track, 3810 W. Educational Path, they’ll have the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishment and earn a medal at the finish line. All participants also receive a T-shirt. Registration is free through Jan. 17, and entry forms and running logs are available online at fivepointsoflife.org, or at LifeSouth’s Lecanto headquarters, 1241 S. Lecanto Highway. Call 352-527-3061 for information.
