Sander
WISH-TV’s Daybreak Anchor, Scott Sander, will greet more than 2,000 community members as they arrive – many in costume – for this fundraiser benefiting Carmel Clay Schools students and teachers. Sander, a Carmel alumnus, is a former radio DJ for Carmel High School’s radio station WHJE, and will work with current WHJE students to broadcast the race and energize participants for a fun-filled morning.
The race is open to all community members and is especially appealing to families.
Participants can choose to run or walk a 5K or 2K timed course, or an untimed 2K course. Both courses start and end at Carmel High School. Strollers are welcome.
Individual registration is $30 (age 12 and up); family registration for up to five people is $70 and the untimed 2K race is $10 through Oct. 17. Prices increase on Oct. 18. Race shirts are available in short- or long-sleeve options, and prizes will be awarded to age category winners.
Lesley Karpiuk, Carmel Clay Schools 2021 Teacher of the Year, will kick off the race. A special thank you to Java House and the Carmel High School Culinary Department who will have coffee, hot chocolate and other breakfast items for purchase. Green Bean Delivery and Joe’s Butcher Shop have generously donated water and snacks for all race participants.
