The Annual Booking It Cross Country Run came about when Shay Glackin-Coley wanted to get a job to raise money for charity. Given the lack of good paying jobs for 10 year olds and his love of running he decided to organize a charity run instead. Last year, 75 runners participated and they were able to provide scholarships for 2 primary school and 6 secondary school students.
All the proceeds from "Booking It" will again go towards scholarships. Â
Both races will be held at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood, WA Day of race registration begins at 8:00. The 2K race starts at 8:30. The 5K race will start at 9:00. Walkers for both events will start immediately after runners. Awards and prize drawings will be presented at 9:45.
