Run For A Child
“Run for a Child” by making a $10 donation to Wolfson Children’s Hospital. Every donor will receive red arm band bearing the name of a child who is a patient at Wolfson Children’s Hospital. When you cross the finish line of the Gator Bowl 5k, you will know that every step you ran is helping to raise funds to care for sick and injured children.
Here is why Wolfson Children’s Hospital needs your help:
- Miracles happen every day at Wolfson Children‘s Hospital…a baby breathes on her own, a child with cancer receives a life-giving bone marrow transplant, a little heart is mended, broken bones become whole again….lives are healed.
- The other miracle is that no child is turned away. Their doors are open wide, so every child will have access to comprehensive healthcare regardless of their ability to pay. Last year Wolfson Children’s Hospital provided over eleven million dollars of charitable and uncompensated care.
Race Timing
The race will be timed using the ChampionChip (chip must be worn on your shoe during the race). Your entry fee covers the cost of the chip rental. If you have your own chip, you need to enter your chip number on the entry form, and deduct $2.00 from the entry fee. You must cross the timing mats to be included in the results. Do not wear your personal chip if you sign up on raceday!
Awards
Awards will be given to the top three men and women overall, the top masters male and female, and the top three finishers in each of the following age groups: 10 and under, 11-13, 14-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74 & 75 and over.
