FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Arnold Air Society, a registered student organization, will host a 5-K run on Saturday to benefit the Sheep Dog Impact Assistance non-profit organization and U of A Air Force ROTC Sgt.

Members of the Arnold Air Society urge everyone who wants to help to come out and run.
The 5-K starts at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 1 on the Old Main Lawn. It is open to the public and the fee is $15. Additional donations earmarked for Alexis are welcome. A Facebook event has been created for the run. Participants can sign up on the day of the event, or register directly.
