The feature event of the2010 Husky Hustle is the 5K road race and the 1-Mile family walk/run.  The annual Heatherstone School event is not just for runners and those who enjoy exercising outdoors during what will hopefully be a beautiful springtime evening. 
The Fun Run brings the entire Heatherstone Community together.  The success of the event is largely dependent on the contribution of many volunteers who help conduct the evening activities.  Currently, the Fun Run Committee is seeking volunteer help in a variety of areas.  If you can’t run, volunteering is a great way to support the Heatherstone PTO in this annual fundraising effort.  In the end, the students of Heatherstone School will benefit from your volunteer contribution.

Listed below are the areas of need for volunteers at this time.  If you’d like to help in any of the ways listed, please contact the event organizers at the “Contact” page near the top of this website.  This is a great time for groups of people to get together to volunteer.  Perhaps a scout group, a Bunko group, or a sports team could decide to work together.  All Heatherstone families are welcome and encouraged to put in a little time helping to make the Husky Hustle a success.
