The Second Annual Wally 'Bells On' 5K Run/Walk and Kids 1K, organized by the Sudbury Education Association in conjunction with RaceMenu, will be held Sunday, October 4, 2015 starting at the Ephraim Curtis Middle School. The 5K will begin at 10:00 a.m. and the Kids' 1K at 11:00 a.m. All proceeds will benefit the Wally Bell Scholarship Fund. The 5K will take place on local Sudbury roads, while the kids' race is completely on school grounds. Please visit www.bellson5k.com to register for the 5K or the Kids' 1K. The cost of registration is $33 and those who register before September 18 will receive t-shirts. The Kids' 1K is $17. Registration will go up to $38 and $22 on race day. The top 3 finishers in each age category will receive medals. There is also a trophy for the top team. Each June, the Sudbury Education Association awards 4 or 5 scholarships to Lincoln-Sudbury graduating seniors. The SEA renamed the scholarship a few years ago in honor of Wally Bell, a much-loved fourth grade teacher who taught for many years at Haynes Elementary School. He had a great impact on decades of fourth graders due to his enthusiastic teaching style and kind spirit. This race is named in his honor, and proceeds go directly to the scholarship fund. It is through the fundraising efforts of the Sudbury community that enables this scholarship fund to exist. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or making a donation to the Wally Bell Scholarship fund directly, please contact Joe Dinmore at joe_dinmore@sudbury.k12.ma.us. We look forward to seeing you in person on October 4; until then, follow us on Twitter (@bellson5k) or Facebook at Wally 'Bells On' 5K.
