The Russell M. Trapp Memorial 5K Jingle Walk/Run, benefiting the scholarship fund that honors the former director of Pennsylvania College of Technology's physician assistant program, will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, on the college's main campus.

The race, which replaces an annual golf tournament as the program's scholarship fundraiser, will begin and end at Hagan Way (the campus entrance off Maynard Street). On-site registration is $18, and awards will be given to the top two runners and walkers of each gender. Nonparticipants wishing to contribute can purchase a T-shirt for $15.

The Russell M. Trapp scholarship has been offered annually since the Fall 2001 semester; it memorializes the college's founding director of the physician assistant program, who died in March 1998.
