WILMOT – Online registration is open for the Wilmot Community Association’s (WCA) 10th annual Black Fly Blitz 5K. The race starts at 9 a.m. on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26 in Wilmot Flat.

The first 100 runners to register will receive a free Black Fly Blitz T-shirt.

Online registration, which closes at noon Friday, May 23, is available at www.wilmotcommunityassociation.org.

Until May 23, race registration is: free for children 10 years and younger; $15 for youths 9 to 17 and adults 65 and older; and $25 for adults 18 to 64. On race day, registration for adults 18 and older will increase by $5.

“By registering early, adults save some money,” said Marc Davis, a member of the Black Fly Blitz Committee. “To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Black Fly Blitz, we will waive the entry fee for children 10 and younger.”

Day-of registration opens at 7 a.m. Monday, May 26 under the registration tent on the Town Green at the intersection of Kearsarge Valley and Village roads in Wilmot Flat.
