HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - The sixth annual Brian Rohne Memorial 5K Run will be held at 7 p.m. this Saturday night (Aug. 19) on the campus of Northern Kentucky University.

During the 1992 fall season, Rohne had earned most valuable runner honors for NKU after being named All-Great Lakes Valley Conference.

The cost to enter is $10 the day of the race. Awards will be given to the top three finishers in each age division. Registration will take place next to the Albright Health Center on the Highland Heights campus after 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.
