Lassiter Run to Benefit Cross Country, Local Charity

Staff Report

The Lassiter Cross Country Team is proud to host its first annual color run, the Lassiter Color Run, starting at 10 AM on Saturday, August 22, 2015, rain or shine. In support of The Helping Hand Foundation. The approximate 2-Mile/3K fun run/walk winds its way around the Lassiter campus and nature trails of Harrison Park through several multi-colored powder stations, followed by food, games, and fun for kids like inflatables and face painting.

The approximate 2-Mile/3K fun run/walk is not timed; runners will start in waves. It begins at 10 a.m. rain or shine at the Lassiter High School stadium and goes through several color powder stations along the route. Registration is $18. Run-day registration is $20.

Packet pick-up is available on run day, starting at 8 AM, at the Lassiter stadium, or on Friday night, August 21, from 5-8 PM, at the Lassiter stadium gate. Please note that Friday, August 21, is the first home football game of the season!

We use non-toxic, non-rash-inducing corn starch with food coloring. Participants are encouraged to wear glasses to avoid unwanted powder in your eyes and face, a bandana is useful as well.

The nature trails are beautiful but have exposed roots and rocks in places, use caution, they are not stroller friendly.

A clean station will be setup near the finish area but you will want to bring a towel for your car ride home.

Parking will be available in the stadium parking lot or at the front of the school. Come prepared to get powdered! Rain or shine! After the run, enjoy food, music, games, and vendor exhibits.

Proceeds from the race will benefit the high school’s cross country team and Helping Hand Foundation, an East Cobb nonprofit that helps local families in need with financial assistance, networking, and other services.
