We are so excited to be putting on our 2nd Annual Gaines 5K Run with a 1 Mile Fun Run option. This event is a fundraiser and all proceeds will go to the Gaines Elementary PTO!
Our theme this year is RUNNING WILD through Gaines, and we are encouraging our participants to Dress Up! Dress up like a wild animal (RUN WILD) or you're not up for running in costume... Represent your hometown & wear school colors or spirit gear (FREE SPIRIT)! We will be advertising to the Village of Gaines residents with hopes that if they aren't walking or running, they can join us on the sidelines to cheer on runners with signs & decorations. Our goal is to make this a super fun event for all ages!
Both run options will begin at Pine Hill Park, same as last year!
The 5K route will take Ray to Markley, turn around, & finish with a lap around the Village of Gaines alongside the Fun Run participants. The 1 Mile Fun Run will take you down Elm St & around the perimeter of the Village of Gaines.
5K runners will head out at 10am, and the Fun Run will begin at 10:30.
All runners will receive a medal, banana & water at the finish. We are actively working to offer a t-shirt as well, but this is currently pending sponsorships!
ALL CHILDREN MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT. Children will not be allowed to run or walk without a parent/guardian/adult who is also participating
