Eat wings on the run in Finger Lickin’ race

Runners will have a chance to mix running and chicken-wing-eating as a Western Carolina University student organization, the Western Athletic Training Association, hosts the Zaxby’s Finger Lickin’ Fun Run at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 10.

Runners who register for the two-mile race have the option of signing up to eat six wings at the halfway mark. The event is sponsored by Zaxby’s Sylva location and is a fundraiser for the athletic trainers’ group, with proceeds to be used to help students attend conferences.

Registration is available at active.com. Fees are $5 for the run only, $10 for the run and wing-eating, $15 for the run and a T-shirt, and $20 for the run, wings and T-shirt. Online registration closes at 5 p.m. Friday, March 9. Registration also will be available at the start area the morning of the race.

Packet pickup will begin at 10 a.m. race day at the fountain in the center of campus. The race will start from the corner of Central Drive and Killian Building Lane.

Other sponsors include Carolina West Sports Medicine and RoadID.
