MENTONE - Attention, runners and walkers!
The annual Mentone Egg City 5K , 1-mile walk is coming up on May 30 during the Mentone Egg Festival.
The Mentone Beta Epsilon Chapter of Psi Iota Xi Sorority is putting on the race.
Registration starts at 6:30 a.m. in front of the Mentone Fire Station. Race starts at 8 a.m. and the cost is $20 until 11:59 p.m. May 26 and after that it is $25.
