This year’s Run to End Polio will be a 5k Color Run* & Peace Festival/Picnic on Saturday, March 18

 at the Crystal Springs Picnic Area in Griffith Park.  We hope you will join us for this fun-filled day.  PLEASE FORWARD THE ATTACHED FLYER TO EVERYONE IN YOUR CLUB.
* A color run is a run where, at several spots during the run, the participants will have cornstarch dyed in several colors thrown on them.  At the end of the run you have a shirt that looks like it has been tie-dyed
 
The run will be followed by a Peace Festival/Picnic where you will enjoy music, entertainment, carnival games, picnic foods and a raffle.
 
We are asking clubs to participate by donating food for the picnic portion of the event. 
 
Rotary Clubs are also invited to participate in a Cupcake Contest!  Bring 2 dozen cupcakes decorated in the color run theme for a chance to take the coveted “Cupcake Trophy” back to your club.  Cupcakes will be judged solely on looks!
 
Please complete the attached club registration and e-mail it to 5280picnic@gmail.com.
