Annual Paint the Park for Jody 5K Color Fun Run Coming to Wetumpka Feb. 1

BY SARAH STEPHENS, OWNER/EDITOR

The 2020 Paint the Park for Jody 5K Color Fun Run will take place Feb. 1 in Wetumpka at Gold Star Park.

This event has been held for several years to support the Jody Marie Sanford Memorial Scholarship Fund.  Jody was a student at Wetumpka High School and a Cross Country Athlete. She passed away Feb. 2, 2014. Funds raised from this event will support the scholarship program in her memory. Because of this fundraiser, most recently four Elmore County seniors received scholarships because of the event.

The 5K Color Fun Run will begin at 9 a.m. The price to participate is $35 with a $3 sign-up fee. When registering, please note the price will increase to $40 after Jan. 23.
