Lace up those running shoes! The 7th Annual East Farms Spring Ahead 5K & Fun Run/Fitness Walk will be held at East Farms School in Farmington on Sunday, April 26th. Last year’s race attracted more than 500 runners, and their families, from statewide and beyond. Registration is currently open at $25 the 5K and $15 for the Fitness Walk and/or Fun Run. The event features electronic timing by Timing Plus New England, an awards ceremony featuring prizes for each age group, and a family friendly atmosphere. After the race, enjoy healthy snacks and music.
Through participation and fundraising in the community, the East Farms PTO is proud to support our future leaders’ education. With this event, the PTO hopes to inspire children and adults to develop and maintain healthy bodies and minds – and have a great time doing it. The race mission is to challenge family members and coworkers to build a running team and participate. Parents in the community are encouraged to inspire our youth to get up and get moving in the 5K, Fun Run or 1 Mile Fitness Walk as a family and spring ahead into the new season.
Again this year, we are expanding our reach into the local community…a percentage of net race proceeds will be provided to the Farmington Community Chest. Please visit farmingtoncommunitychest.com to learn more about this local nonprofit organization.
