Endless Reasons to Run!
Come for the Run ... Stay for the Fun!
Join us on Sunday, October 21, 2018, for the Education Alliance of Washoe County's annual Run for Education, the largest family and student running event in Northern Nevada focusing on fitness and fun for students and families! There is a run for everyone: a 5K/10K (timed), 1/2 Mile Fun Run, and the Sparks Marina March (both untimed). Proceeds directly support physical education and wellness in Washoe County schools!
Do you want to reach an audience of 8,500+ and support WCSD student health and wellness? 100% of sponsorship proceeds go back to schools and students through the Education Alliance of Washoe County, a non-profit organization supporting students and schools. Sponsor logos are prominently displayed on 4,000 t-shirts! Click here to learn more about the benefits of sponsorship and support student health and wellness in our community!
