and all age groups and families are encouraged to participate.  After the race, participants can enjoy


delicious food by provided by the Lakeside Optimist, an arts festival, student


art/performance showcase and a health fair with prizes and raffle sponsored by


Parks and Recreation of San Diego County. 


Run entry fees are $10 for youth through 17 years old and $15 for


adults.  A family price is $40 for two


adults and two children with $6 for each additional child.

“Run for the Arts is a fun and easy way 

to give back to local schools,” said Sarah Grosskreutz, Run for the Arts organizer. “Due to continuous budget cuts, many


schools have to eliminate art programs, field trips and any other extra


activities. In Lakeside, we are very fortunate to have Run for the Arts - a fun, community event that raises funds and


helps us keep quality programs in our schools.”

A unique partnership exists between Lakeside Union School 

District and Young Audiences of San Diego. 


The “Run for the Arts”


funding provides an artist-in-residence at each Lakeside elementary and middle


school site.  In 1999, Lakeside Education


and Arts Partnership won the California School Boards Association’s Golden Bell


Award recognizing outstanding arts programs in California’s schools.  “Run for the Arts” was a Golden Bell


Award winner in 2000.

Recipient of multiple arts grants and donations, Lakeside 

Union School District continues in times of budget crisis to provide a wide


variety of fine arts experiences for our students ranging from music, drama,


dance and visual art.
