…. drawing from the popular “reality show” that takes teams of contestants on a journey around the world, with stops in historical outposts, cultural heritage sites, metropolitan areas, and other unique locations!
This year’s theme evokes wonder over the natural environment and human adaptations (historical, political, scientific, agricultural, technological, etc) … tied in with the physical aspect of quickly moving around the world and navigating through its geographic and cultural variety.
Our OFFICIAL Walkathon logo and graphics are still under development by Tread Creative. Check back for updates on the exciting new look for Booksin’s AMAZING RACE!

What? It’s not even summertime yet, and you want me to start thinking about Walkathon? … Yes. We do.
First of all … Clear your Calendar … 10/10/09
There are lots of things you can do this summer to help Walkathon be successful, but the most important is planning to be there. Our kids raised nearly $90,000 from flat donations and per-mile pledges last year. If you aren’t there, your children can’t walk.
And of course, while you’re clearing your calendar, schedule yourself some volunteer time at Walkathon. We ask every family to work at least one volunteer shift on October 10. And new this year, our Amazing Race will send classrooms on a quest to secure the most volunteers … with an awesome prize for the winners.

The theme for the 2008 version of the Booksin Walkathon was incredibly groovy. But like the 1960’s & 1970’s that inspired it …. well, it’s in the past. The Official Website of Booksin’s 21st Annual Walkathon has been archived.

The longer days and warmer weather signal more than the coming of spring for the families at Booksin Elementary.
This is also the time of year that we typically begin planning for our largest fundraiser of the year—Walkathon, scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2009. (more…)
