Cupcake Run/Walk for Public Education Race Details
The latest details from your Race Directors:
Welcome to the 11th year of the Cupcake Run!
Color scheme: Race veterans know we launch a new color scheme each year. This year, there are two featured colors and you can choose which color you want for your shirt. Are you a "heather indigo" or a "heather oatmeal" type of person? You can preview the shirt color choices when you register. All volunteers will receive a "heather cardinal" shirt.
Last year we launched TEAMS as a way to give back to schools and promote a healthy community. For every ten-member team, $100 is provided to a school to purchase recess and P.E. equipment. Last year, 20 schools benefited from this challenge! We encourage participants to form a team and appoint a team captain who will name and register the team and share the team name with other participants. Each team can select a school to sponsor. This opportunity is made possible with the generous support of former PSFTC board members Mrs. Andrea Kuipers and Vic and Grayce Lechtenberg.
Please note that inventory for medals and race shirts is set in August, so register by then to guarantee your receipt.
FASTEST TEACHER CONTEST: If you are a teacher, please indicate as such on your registration as well as what school you represent. The fastest male and female teacher for the 5K and the 10K will receive a fun prize!
PACKET PICKUP: Saturday Sept 19, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM in the parking lot of Mary Lou Donuts at 4150 Commerce Drive, Lafayette IN 47905
