REGISTRATION NOW OPEN - Click to download Fun Run Flyer & Registration Form.

FUN RUN!
It’s time for Clayton’s biggest event of the year! The Clayton Fun Run is open to all Pre-K (4-5 years) and elementary-aged students. Kids have a blast running with friends and challenging themselves during this fantastic community event. Each child also gets a sticker for every lap they complete up to 6 laps (2 miles), showing off their accomplishments. And of course, don’t forget that registrants receive a cool Fun Run t-shirt and water bottle! Quantities are limited though, so be sure to register early to guarantee a shirt and bottle. With the sibling discount, you only have to fill out one registration form per household. Also, kids don’t have to go to Clayton to run, so feel free to invite friends and relatives to register! The class with the most registrations receives a special party!

DJ FUN!
One of Clayton’s favorites will be providing music for the event this year - Mr. Guy, a well-known and well-loved friend of Clayton! Guy Swan of Swan Entertainment will help the runners keep pace and entertain the crowds with his energy and music. There will also be some fun activities for the kids led by Mr. Guy and maybe, we can even get some staff to give a few performances of their own during the event! We are so excited to have Mr. Guy be a part of the Fun Run & Celebration event.

SILENT AUCTION & OTHER ACTIVITIES
Be sure to visit the SILENT AUCTION in the gym - you will find some of the best stuff around: fantastic items donated from local businesses, baskets of all themes from classes, fun teacher donations and the ever-coveted Clayton parking space. Items will run the gamut in price range, so come shop during the event between 4:00 - 6:00 pm with a fun LIVE AUCTION by Dr. Robinett at 6:00 pm.

The ever popular DUNKING BOOTH is back - for just a $1 ticket, you can have a try at dunking a Clayton teacher! Also, throw your teachers, parents and friends in the fun CLAYTON JAIL for a $1 ticket (for 10 minutes). There are great FREE ACTIVITIES too: face painting, tattoos, beach ball pit, bubble machine and more.

And don't forget about the FOOD!  Treat yourself to a night away from the kitchen with a good old fashion HOT DOG MEAL with beef hot dog, choice of chips, drink and treat.  There will also be plenty of SNACKS, DRINKS and of course SWEETS. Fun SPIKY BALL YO-YO’s and PUNCH BALLS will also be sold. Prices range from $1 ticket to $3. Tickets can be prepaid on the registration form.

*For our friends attending the new Southwest Elementary school in Meridian, please know the Clayton PTA is donating a generous amount to the new PTA. Part of this donation will come from the Fun Run event proceeds.

So mark your calendars, get your forms in and join your friends, teachers, staff and neighbors on this special day.

See you at the Fun Run!
