Run Run Rudolph 5K to benefit Columbia City High School's student academic, attendance initiatives
By Jennifer Zartman Romano
If it's anything like last year, there will be falling snow, plummeting temperatures...but participants will keep toasty warm as they race across the city in the 2011 Run Run Rudolph 5K.
Sponsored by the Columbia City High School Eagle Renaissance program, the race is set for Saturday, December 17, with registration at 8:30 a.m. and the race begins at 9 a.m. Runners (and walkers) will meet at the Max Gandy Athletic Field behind the high school.
For a pre-registration fee of $15, runners will get a race shirt, snack and water. After December 1, the registration fee is $18.
Proceeds from the race will support academic and attendance initiatives at CCHS.
Prizes will be awarded to the top three placing runners, as well as Best Holiday Spirit (as judged by the elves), and age categories, including:
Male: 15 and under, 16-20, 21-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+
Female: 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50+
