The first 900 entrants will receive T-shirts bearing a whimsical design created by noted local artist Mary Engelbreit, and prizes will be awarded for the fastest time in each race achieved by male and female runners, and for the first five men and women in each age category.

Al Wiman, KMOX-TV Medical and Science Editor, will be a special guest participant in the Clean Air Run, and drawings will be held for prizes donated by area sponsors including O’Connell’s Pub, Redel’s, Tricia Woo, SchmieZing’s, and West End. Wines. Refreshments, including apple pie for all finishers, will be provided by National Food Stores and McDonald’s.
