FINLEY, Calif. – The 25th annual Vineyard Run for Literacy will take place on Sunday, Oct. 12, in conjunction with the annual Steele Wines Harvest Festival.
Race participants can choose to compete in either a 5K or 10K run or a 5K walk.
On-site registration begins at 8 a.m. at Steele Wines, located at the corner of Highway 29 and Thomas Drive, south of Finley.
The race begins at 9 a.m.
There is a suggested donation of $20 for individuals and $30 per family if you preregister. Add $5 for registration on event day.
All proceeds from the event go to the Lake County Literacy Coalition to support literacy tutoring activities throughout Lake County.
Imagine not being able to read, hoping that you can remember what the doctor told you about several medications to help your child get well. Imagine having to ask for help to fill out a job application.
The coalition purchases books and supplies and provides tutor training and workshops for our tutors.
The families program provides books for children under the age of 6 so that the parents can read to their children and break the cycle of illiteracy.
The Vineyard Run for Literacy is a great opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy the autumn weather amid the agricultural beauty of Finley.
In addition to local runners and walkers, the Vineyard Run for Literacy draws participants from around the state.
Encourage coworkers, friends and family members to make donations to sponsor your walk/run. Bring $100 in sponsor contributions on race day and your registration fee is waived.
Sponsor sheets are available at Lake County Library or by calling 707-263-7633.
Registration forms are available at all branches of the Lake County Library, the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, WestAmerica Bank and Lake County Visitor Information Center as well as at Steele Wines on the morning of the run.
Winners in each category receive both ribbons and prizes.
Additionally all participants are entered in a drawing for prizes donated by local merchants.
