Sixth annual Harvest Run is Saturday

Runningshoes4kids is having its sixth annual Harvest Run this Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m., with registration at 1 p.m. The race will be held at Hayden Canyon, 13590 N. Government Way.

The cost is $10 for youth registrations and $15 for adults. There are several drop-off locations for registrations this year, including: Fleet Feet in Coeur d’Alene, Inland Northwest Bank in Spirit Lake, Rathdrum Dental in Rathdrum, and Two Wheeler Dealer in Hayden.

The event will focus mostly on age-based races for the kids, but there will also be a 5K this year for anyone who would like to participate. Event sponsors have provided prizes for raffle drawings. There will also be face painting, an obstacle course and coloring and costume contests. Along with medals, ribbons and prizes will be awarded to the top six runners for boys and girls individually, in youth-based races and the citizens’ race.

Runningshoes4kids is using the race to help schools and other nonprofits benefit from the proceeds. From each registration by an organization, 55 percent of the proceeds will be given back to that organization. The other 45 percent will be reinvested into Runningshoes4kids, allowing the nonprofit to continue to serve our community by providing shoes to those in need.
