We can all use free stuff these days, and that includes free entry into
a running event that is part of the Sept. 19 Celebrate Cary at Sunset
festival.

Triangle runners can have their entry fees waived for the Cary Sunset
7000 at the Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary. The 4 p.m. race is a
7,000-yard - 1.25-mile - run, jog or walk around Symphony Lake.

Instead of paying the $15 entry fee, runners may make a donation of
food to the Food Bank of North Carolina at the Food Bank's booth during
the coinciding Celebrate Cary at Sunset Festival. A minimum donation of
$5 to $10 worth of food is required, but runners are welcome to contribute
more.
