Purple Day 5K
About this race
Early Athletic Booster Club’s Annual Purple Day is a fun day for the community to come out and meet our Athletes and Coaching Staff. Purple Day is the largest fundraiser for the Athletic Booster club which uses the funds raised to help the entire Athletic Department as needed. Purple Day will include announcements of the Players & Coaches for all Fall Athletics. Bracelet purchases are available and allow access to an assortment of activities, including, Bounce Houses, Punt, Pass & Kick, Bump, Set & Spike, Trike Races, Nerf Gun Wars, Petting Zoo, and a Cake Walk. We will also have several vendors set up to show off their goods as well as a Silent Auction. Gates open at 5:15pm with announcements starting at 5:45, and games/activities will open following announcements. We are including a 5K and 1 mile FUN RUN to conclude our Day ending in the stadium!
Bring the family-fun for all ages and fitness levels!
