Registration for these events is $15, $40 and $45. Every 5K and 10K reg istration will provide a one year membership to the Gateway YWCA, said Lisa Kiser, the local coordinator for Special Olympics Forsyth County. "We're urging everyone to come dressed as their favorite superhero and 'fly' through our one mile, 5K or 10K races." Kiser adopted the superhero theme for the weekend because, "We are all heroes to someone. The athletes of Special Olympics Forsyth County are heroes to me every day in some way. I want to make sure that they are encouraged to be strong and brave to overcome the day-to-day battles they face. Heroes also come from our coaches and vol unteers. They empower our athletes to be their best." To register for the race, visit CityofWS.org and search for "Special Olympics." To sponsor an athlete for a one-year membership without regis tering for the race, contact Kiser at 727-2425 or lisak@cityofws.org. Special Olympics Forsyth County provides year-round sports training and athletic competitions in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual dis abilities, giving them con tinuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, expe rience joy, and share friendships. Because Special Olympics does not charge athletes to train and com pete in Special Olympics, local programs are respon sible for covering the cost.
