The first Eve Carson Memorial 5K for Education takes place Saturday to honor the slain student body leader whose killing last year sent such a wave of grief through Chapel Hill.

Registration starts at 8 a.m. at Polk Place and the race starts at 10 a.m.

Registration is $15 by mail, $18 online or $20 in person on the day of the race.

Two-thirds of money raised will go to the foundation formed in Carson's memory. The rest will be split between First Book, an organization that provides books to low-income families, and the Clyde Erwin Elementary School, a Jacksonville, NC magnet school focusing on international studies and cultural arts.
