Back To School Beach Run

Support Communities in Schools of Nassau County by participating in the Beach Fun Run at Peter's Point beach park on Amelia Island, Florida. Or sponsor a local school student.  Enjoy Amelia Islandâ??s beautiful Peterâ??s Point Beach Park at low tide and get some exercise by coming to the beach on Saturday October 13, 2012 at 1:30 pm. The "Back to School Beach Fun Run" is a 5K (3.1 mile), 2K (1 mile) or non-competitive run/walk with all proceeds benefiting local Nassau County school kids. 
If you cannot attend, you can still help by sponsoring a local student for $10 (or make a donation to Communities in Schools of Nassau County, Inc, a non-profit community-based organization, dedicated to helping kids succeed in school, graduate, and prepare for a productive life).
The race/walk will be right on the beach at low tide starting promptly at 1:30 pm, so why not take this opportunity to enjoy the Amelia Island seaside while helping to support local Nassau County kids?
The school with the largest number registered participants gets $1,000, so turn out for an individual school within the Nassau County public school district. (For example, if you have a student at Fernandina Beach Middle School, participate in this event to help FBMS win this $1,000 check.) 
Miles and turnaround points will be clearly marked and a water station will be provided at the halfway point and the finish line.

$20 per adult (over 18) Free for kids! 
Register by calling (904)321-2000 or CIS representatives at local Nassau County schools are also accepting entry forms, so see a CIS (Communities in Schools) rep at local schools.
Race packets/number pick-ups for those pre-registered can be picked up on Friday, October 12th from 4 to 6 pm in the parking lot of the Peck Center at 516 S. 10th Street, Fernandina Beach. Or on race day, pick up race packet at Peterâ??s Point Park (off south Fletcher Avenue) from 12:00 to 1:00 pm on October 13.
