Mark the calendar for Saturday, Feb. 10 and join in as the Escalon Educational Foundation hosts its sixth annual Color Run at Escalon High School. Participants can choose to do a one- or two-mile walk/run and there will be several color stations set up along the route.

All proceeds from the event benefit the students of Escalon Unified School District.

“With last year’s proceeds, we were able to give school grants to all EUSD schools and give 18 EUSD senior scholarships,” co-chairs April Adams and Kaity French said.

Registration is on now for the event; cost is $25 if you register by Friday, Jan. 12 and that early registration also guarantees you a race T-shirt. After Jan. 12, the price increases to $30.

The organizers also said they are still seeking sponsors, with several levels of sponsorships available, with companies, businesses and individuals all able to help sponsor the event.

“We look forward to working together to meet the growing needs or our students,” the co-chairs added of securing sponsorships to offset costs of hosting the run.

Sponsorship donations are tax-deductible and range from the $150 Bronze level to the $1000 Platinum level.

The EEF Color Run course is set up around the campus of the high school and has drawn hundreds of participants each of the past few years. Those on the course can walk, jog or run, and can choose their level of color powder, whether they want to get doused or just sprinkled by the volunteers manning the course.
