Run Like It’s Recess – A Fun Family Event
The inaugural “Run Like It’s Recess” 5k run/walk and kids 1k fun run on November 14, 2010 is a exciting event with something for entire family. Activities include a competitive 5k race on a flat, fast course through scenic El Dorado Park and kids fun zone with crafts and games. Spend a leisurely Sunday morning strolling through El Dorado park or create your own personal record for best 5k time. All ages and fitness levels welcome!
Newcomb Academy PTSA is proud to host this fun event that provides families with an opportunity to be fit together while raising funds to better the education of our local children. Due to the recent funding cuts to our public school system, community involvement has become critical to maintaining our education standards. The health of our children and general population is also under scrutiny in today’s fast-paced electronic environment.
One of the most fun events to watch is the 50-yard toddler dash starting at 10:45. The littlest ones will be racing across the finish line and all will receive a medal to commemorate their experience. The 1k kids fun run begins at 10:15 – a great introduction to running for younger children. All 1k participants will receive a finisher’s medal and tee-shirt! The competitive 5k begins at 9:00 with prizes awarded to top finishers in each age group. The park is dog and stroller friendly and both will be allowed in the 5k.
Weather you walk with your family or race your friends, the day promises to be a great experience. So Run Like Its Recess and have fun.
