Organiser's description
The 1st Annual Sunshine Supplies for Teachers 5K & Donut Dash Fun Run for Education is a race celebrating teachers, schools, and their students. This sugar-fueled 5K starts and finishes at the Forsyth Park main pavilion. The race starts at 7:30 am and runs a course in and around the park. We will offer a few types of runs: A traditional 5K run, a 1 mile run/walk, a 1 mile Donut Fun Run , and a kid run (ages 10 and under). All proceeds will go to Sunshine Supplies for Teachers, a non-profit organization that assists teachers and school districts in receiving supplies for classrooms and beyond in Macon & Piatt Counties. During the fun run, participants must eat a DONUT and then complete the remainder of the race. The Donut Challenge is a specialty race and has a limited number of spots. To add some extra sweetness, we will also have special contests for best donut-themed adult individual costume, best dressed group, and best dressed child (under 10 years of age). We will also have various raffles going on at the end of the race.
