5K Tutu Run Benefitting Western Arkansas Ballet
Western Arkansas Ballet will host its inaugural 5K Tutu Run Saturday, January 10, 2015 at 8:00 AM. The race will begin at the large playground at Ben Geren Park. Walkers and runners are welcome in this chip-timed event. There will be awards for the top three male and female runners in each age division. A finisher’s medal will be awarded to all participants.
A prize will also be awarded for the best tutu. Although a tutu is not required, it is recommended for lots of fun.
Funds raised by the 5K Tutu Run will benefit Western Arkansas Ballet, a nonprofit dance studio in Fort Smith. The mission of Western Arkansas Ballet is to create a community dedicated to the Fine Arts through quality dance education, training, and performance.
