The 12th Annual Luce School 5 K Fun Run/Walk and Childrens Fun Run will be held on Sunday, May 5, 2013, starting at 10:00 am at the Luce Elementary School in Canton MA.
This event is run by and for the benefit of the Dean S. Luce School Canton Association of Parents and Teachers (CAPT) but is really an event for the entire Canton MA community.
The event was originally the idea of a couple of teachers who came to the CAPT to promote it as a fun event and not necessarily a fundraiser. It has turned into a good fundraiser and a fun annual event in the Town of Canton. The event kicks off at 10:00 am with the half-mile childrens run for ages 4-8, followed by a mile childrens run for ages 9-12. The big event, the 5K run for all ages, starts at 11:00 am. All the children in the childrens run receive a medal. There are trophies for the first, second and third place winners in all age categories.
While the races are going on, there is face painting, tattoos and bouncy houses to entertain the kids. There is also a free cookout of hamburgers and hot dogs during and after the big race. There are also usually a great variety of baskets available for raffle. All registrants get a T-shirt. In addition, there is professional timing with splits and a computerized finish line. The event draws runners from all around Canton MA and the surrounding areas.
The Fun Run is an annual feel-good community event that promotes health, fitness and good fun. While my kids are no longer at the Luce School, we will be at the Fun Run on Sunday. My husband always runs the 5K....and I always cheer him on.
There is always a lot going on for people of all ages in Canton MA. To find out more about life in Canton MA and buying a home in Canton MA, contact your Canton MA Buyer Broker.
