The New Haven Boosters Association (NHBA) and the New Haven Schools Foundation (NHSF), in conjunction with the East Bay Regional Park District, Union City Leisure Services, and the New Haven Unified School District, are proud to present its Annual Race to Save Student Activities Fun Run & Walk. The popular chip-timed event will take place on Saturday, June 8, 2013. Runners, walkers, stroller pushers and even dog walkers can look forward to a great race that starts and finishes at Cesar Chavez Middle School (2801 Hop Ranch Road, Union City).
Check-in and race day registration begins at 8:00 a.m. The start time for the 5K and 10K races is 9:00 a.m. Kid races will begin after the conclusion of the 5K and 10K races. All courses run around the school track and the Alameda Creek Trail and will close at 11:00 am. Fun Run participants will receive t-shirts (advance registrants guaranteed t-shirts, same day registration is first come, first serve), ribbons, and goody bags filled with lots of great items donated by local companies.
Advance online registration is available through www.active.com - search “Race to Save Student Activities.” Entry fees are as follows: $10 for K-8, $15 for high school students, $25 for general pre-registered 5K & 10K adults, and $40 for the Kids Relay Team. $5 will be added to race-day registrations.
The Fun Run is one of NHBA’s fundraising effort to help the Foundation meet its $100,000 pledge to support New Haven Co-Curricular Programs. NHBA is donating an additional $250 to $350 to each New Haven elementary school, depending on the level of student participation.
