The Healthy Tomorrow Foundation recognizes that taking part in a community-based fun run is a wonderful way to motivate Kids Run Club participants to keep running and to celebrate all their efforts at the end of the program. For some families however, the entry fees for running events can be a significant barrier, especially if they have more than one child who’d like to participate. That’s why we’re offering 100 free entries to the Doctors Nova Scotia Youth Run at the Emera Blue Nose Marathon to our Kids Run Club participants. These free entries are being offered to ensure Kids Run Club participants aren’t held back by financial barriers.
Coaches from participating Kids Run Club schools are asked to complete the following application based on their knowledge of students/families who are most in need. Another important factor to consider is whether the students have the means to get to the event on May 20th.
With only 100 entries to provide, we will make every effort to ensure they are distributed as fairly as possible. To provide some context, the average number of entries requested in the past has been 10.
Deadline for applications is Friday May 5th.
Coaches will be contacted by Monday, May 8th regarding the number of bursaries they have been granted and information for registering their students for the event.
