The Henderson County Early College High School is hosting the first Roadrunner FundRun on Saturday, Dec. 6, at 8 a.m. on the campus of Blue Ridge Community College.

The Roadrunner FundRun will offer a one mile fun run/walk, as well as a 5K run to participants. "We welcome walkers and runners of all fitness levels to come out and enjoy the race while supporting our school," said Justin McKenzie, a career development counselor and PE teacher at BRCC who also coaches cross country at East Henderson High School.
Runners and walkers can pre-register for the event by Nov. 21 for $15, which includes a race shirt. Students can participate for $10. Late registration is available for $20 but doesn't guarantee a race shirt. Visit the school website for information on sponsorships, race registration and volunteering. On-line payments are accepted at http://www.hendersoncountypublicschoolsnc.org/hcec/roadrunner-fundrun/
Corporation and individual sponsorships are available.
Henderson County Early College is an innovative public high school partnership between the Henderson County School District and Blue Ridge Community in which students graduate with a high school diploma and two years of college transferable credit or an associate's degree in five years, all tuition free. The school mascot is the Roadrunner.
