Cyclone Color Storm 5K Set for Saturday, September 26, to Benefit White Pine School PTO

The 6th Annual White Pine School Color Storm 5K Run/Walk and Kid’s Fun Run sponsored by the White Pine School PTO will be held on Saturday, September 26th at 9 a.m.  Race participants will run through a “Cyclone Storm” of colors at different stations along the race route.

The 5K (3.1 mile) run will begin at the White Pine School at 9 a.m. and consists of a generally flat out and back keyhole course, with some slight hills.  The event also includes a one-mile Kid’s Color Fun Run to be held at the school’s walking track beginning at 10:30 a.m. Runners and walkers alike are encouraged to participate.

Cyclone Color Storm 5K participants may preregister by going to http://www.morristownrunning.org and downloading the registration form.

The 5K early registration fee for adults (ages 12 and up) is $20, and the fee for kids (age 11 and under) is $15. To receive the reduced fee, the preregistration must be postmarked or received before September 16th. Preregistered participants will automatically receive a Cyclone Color Storm 5K t-shirt and sunglasses with the race logo.  Late and race day entry fee for the 5K is $25 for adults and $15 for children.

The Kid’s Color Fun Run entry fee is $15 (including t-shirt), or $10 without a t-shirt.  All kids 10 and under are invited to attend and each child will receive goody bag at the finish line.  Preregistration is suggested for the Cyclone Color Storm 5K and Color Fun Run in order to receive your requested size t-shirt.

Participants may also register the day of the race for the Cyclone Color Storm or Color Fun Run between 7:30-8:30 a.m. T-shirts will be available while supplies last.  Runners are encouraged to wear their own white t-shirts on race day or purchase a white shirt with the race logo for $10 the day of the race, while supplies last.  On race day inside the school commons area, the PTO will also host a cakewalk.

For safety precautions, the streets of White Pine to be used in this event will be closed to traffic for the duration of the run/walk.  Cash prizes will be given to the top male and female finishers. 1st prize $100, 2nd prize $75 and 3rd prize $25.

This event is the PTO’s primary fundraiser of the year and strong participation is encouraged to support the children’s education and future.  The PTO also wants to take the opportunity to thank their many sponsors for this event.  Corporate Sponsors include Citizen’s National Bank, HealthStar, and White Pine Marine.
