Tulare Santa Fe Trail-A-Thon 5k

A community FUN RUN 5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk inspired by Blaine Chandler’s light and love for others at Sundale School in Tulare.

“Blaine was the heart of his family — full of light, music, faith, and service. He loved helping others, dreamed big, and lived with joy beyond his years. Blaine lived with joy and purpose beyond his years, teaching everyone around him to love big and keep smiling. Though our hearts ache, we are committed to honoring his legacy by continuing to serve and strengthen our community in his name,” -Blaine’s sister, Addyson.

This race is being run for every family navigating grief, hope, and the importance of children’s mental health.

Your support will help fund Blaine’s Corral at Sundale Elementary and raise awareness for children’s mental health initiatives in our community. Blaine was passionate about his school’s farm, and we hope to make it a place to shine for years to come.

DISCRIPTION

ProYouth is hosting the 5th Annual color run. Come out and run in our 5k, or bring the whole family and run, jog, or dance your way through our 2 mile course. We will throw in the color and the fun! With registration you will receive a participation medal and a white shirt to get blasted with color. There will be color stations throughout the fun run and powder will be in the air so bring a head covering if you wish. After your race, enjoy a snack and a colorful dance party with our DJ. All proceeds will benefit the programs and students who are part of the ProYouth afterschool network. Parents if you do not want to run/walk, you can sign the kids up to do the run/walk and just watch and take photos! See our Facebook page for race updates.

RACE INFORMATION

We will be having two races. Both the 5k and color run will begin at 9:00 AM. The 5K race is for all those who wish to test themselves by competing in our 5k course and people who wish not to be colorized (I'm sure you will get some color, but it will be much less than others). There will be a trophy awarded to the top male and female runner. The race will be timed. Photos will also be taken at the finish line and uploaded onto our page. Please be aware that our course will be on the road and in the grass. The color run is open to people of all ages who want to run, walk, jog, or dance your way through the course. Throughout the fun run you will be blasted with color at the color stations. Photos will be taken at the finish line and along the course. Photos will be posted on our page within 24-72 hours of the finish.

WHAT TO WEAR

We recommend that you wear white for catching the brilliant color and sunglasses for shielding your eyes. Also, you should wear a bandanna around your mouth and nose to keep from inhaling powder. We will supply a mask in case you want to use that.

ENTRY FEE

ALL ENTRY FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. We are accepting entries online through runsignup.com. Be sure to sign up early as the price will go up as we get closer to race day.

***EVERYONE planning on running/walking The ProYouth Color Run MUST complete a registration form and sign the waiver!

GIVEAWAY/PRIZES

Every participant will receive a medal and a t-shirt plus a swag bag. Anyone who signs up after the cutoff date is not guaranteed a medal or shirt. Trophies will also be awarded for the top male and female in the competitive 5k run.

AFTER THE RACE

We will provide you with a water and banana after the race. You will also be able to hang out at our post-race health fair and listen to Simon Ybarra’s Mobile Dj Service and Entertainment will be providing music during and after the race.
