Fannin County, Texas -- It is time to sign up for the Fifth Annual Do It For Nick (DI4N) 5K and Color Fun Run.   The run, which was originally supposed to be in May 2020, has been rescheduled for October 17.  Participants who signed up for the race in May are already registered for the October race.

Nick Capehart loved to cheer and had dreams of cheering in college.  After his life was tragically cut short by a car accident, family and friends organized this race to remember him and raise money for cheer scholarships.  This scholarship fund was established to keep his legacy living and his love for cheer and tumbling alive in others who love the sport as much as he did.  Fourteen scholarships have been awarded since 2015.

The DI4N (Do It for Nick) 5K and Color Fun Run will be Saturday, October 17, 2020 at the Bonham Civic Center (Armory) at 1100 West Fifth Street in Bonham.  On-site registration will begin at 7:00 a.m.  The 5k race will start at 8:00 a.m. and the Fun Run will start at 8:15 a.m.  The awards ceremony is scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m.  Awards will be given to the top overall finishers in male & female divisions, as well as top male and female finishers in each age group.

Nick’s favorite color was red.  For fun this year, prizes will be given to one child and one adult who are the Best Spirited Dressed In Red.  Prizes will also be given to one child and one adult who are the Most Spirited Cheerleaders.  There will also be a silent auction at the race.

Registration is open now at www.raceroster.com. Entry fee is $25 for the 5K and $15 for the Color Fun Run if registered by September 30.  For those who want to contribute but cannot make it to the event, there is an option to sign up for the “Virtual Run.”  Registering with this option costs $30 and includes a t-shirt, delivered by mail.

All proceeds from the race and silent auction will benefit The Nicholas Capehart Memorial Cheer Scholarship Fund.
