Lace Up For Learning Charity Run
Lace Up For Learning is an annual charity run organized by five tenth grade students to raise money for education and to support local teachers and schools. The event is held in Folsom and uses the Parkway community trails and the big grass area of Cohn Park.
The program includes multiple running options:
- 5k
- 10k
- Kids fun run obstacle course for children under 8
All 5k and 10k participants receive a running bib, an event t-shirt, and an event-specific medal. Children who take part in the fun run obstacle course receive a generic medal. Event t-shirts are only guaranteed for participants who register before April 14th.
The event setting and on-site features are family oriented. Street parking is available in the neighborhood and the Oak Chan Elementary parking lot is available. Strollers are allowed on the trails and dogs are permitted on the Parkway community trails. The event schedule typically includes an MC and a DJ, a face painter, snacks for runners after they complete the course, and access to the Cohn Park playground.
Lace Up For Learning is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that presents the run to build community ties and to direct funds toward classroom projects and educational resources. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
