Annual ABC Fun Run will has been:
Postponed until 2021
To the Registrants of the 2020 ABC Fun Run 5K, 2K Run/Walk Event:
The ABC Education Foundation, and ABC Fun Run team is so thankful and humbled by all the support we have received from our runners, walkers, community supporters, and business partners these past few days. With the current COVID-19 pandemic that is limiting the gathering of people, an evolving situation that is impacting all of us, our board of directors has decided to defer the 2020 ABC Fun Run that was scheduled for May 2, 2020 and bring it back next year in 2021.
The decision to defer this year’s race was a difficult one. Unfortunately, there are so many unknowns at this time that impact all of us that our decision to defer the Fun Run was the best decision for the safety of our students, families, and communities.
In saying this we want to provide you with a few options that work best for you:
Option 1- Donate: If you would like to donate a portion, or all of your registration fee to ABC Education Foundation, send an email to tom.tracy@abcusd.us requesting to cancel your registration and donate your registration fee no later than May 3rd, 2020.
