El Segundo PTA hosts annual Run for Education

The El Segundo PTA Council hosts the 22 annual Run for Education on Saturday, March 23 to benefit El Segundo public schools.

The race features USATF certified 10K and 5K courses as well as a 1K for children.

The event has grown into the PTA’s major fundraiser each year, providing much needed extra funding for El Segundo’s public schools.

The run now also serves as a centerpiece for the School District’s new Wellness policy while providing an excellent opportunity to promote multi-generational health and fitness throughout the community

The 2013 event has been selected as one of the official road races in the elite USATF Southern California Association Road Running Grand Prix Series. Both courses are USATF certified and course records are looking to be broken.

The Opening Ceremony begins at 7:45 with the 5K/10K dual start at 8 a.m. and the Kids Fun Run at 9:15 a.m.

The all new Health & Fitness Expo will feature Radio Disney, McDonald’s and more. The Kids Fun Zone includes games, inflatables, a live DJ, vendors and food.

All participating runners, 12 and under, will receive prizes from Mattel.
