Luce CAPT to hold 12th annual 5k and fun run May 5
By Canton CitizenThe Dean S. Luce CAPT invites members of the Canton community to its 12th annual 5k & fun run on Sunday, May 5, at the Luce School at 45 Independence Street.
This event provides an opportunity for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to participate in a morning of athletics in a friendly neighborhood atmosphere.
The day starts at 10 a.m. with the children’s fun run around the school building. Children ages 4-8 will participate in a half-mile course, while those ages 9-12 will run or walk a one-mile course. Every fun run finisher will receive a medal and a popsicle.
The timed 5k will start at 11 a.m. The 3.1-mile, USTAD-sanctioned course starts on Independence Street, turns down Prospect to Sherman, continues right on Washington and then around Pleasant and back to the school via Independence Street. The course ends at the school with a finish line surrounded by cheering children. Prizes will be awarded to top finishers in all age groups for the 5k.
All participants will enjoy free sandwiches, raffles, a DJ, and children’s entertainment.
“The Luce fun run is a great family event and a longstanding community tradition,” said event chair Sarah Pirrera. “The kids enjoy the fun runs and they get a medal and a popsicle at the finish line, which is always a big hit. They also love the bouncy houses and face painting afterward.
“For the adults, the 5k race is on a nice course where everyone can run at their own pace — fast or slow — it’s whatever you want to make it. The event is a great way to kick off the spring by getting out of the house and doing some exercise with your family!”
Registration fees are $28 for the 5k and $10 for the fun run. Participants can register at www.racemenu.com/Luce5k. Proceeds will benefit the Dean S. Luce School CAPT.
