The Iowa State University Enactus club and Wells Fargo will host the Run for the Sun 5K on Saturday to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Story County.

The Run for the Sun, which will take place at 10 a.m. on Central Campus, is a beach-themed fun-run that will allow students and faculty to dress up in their beach gear and show their excitement for spring and summer.

“It is kind of a cool time since daylight savings is the following week, so it works to be a run toward the spring time of year,” said Joseph Cook, senior in business management and president of Enactus.

This will be the first year the event will take place, but Enactus hopes the success will lead to it becoming an annual event.

“We would love to keep it at this date the next several years, especially since it helps worthy organizations,” Cook said.

To give the runners a beat to run to, local musician DJ Ruck donated his time and equipment.

“We are very fortunate that he would give us his time because he understands that it is for a good cause,” said Ashley Rosenberg, senior in business management and vice president of Enactus.

The Boys & Girls Club of Story County is an organization that helps give children a safe place to learn and build relationships with other people. The club members said they would certainly benefit from the donations from the run.

“We expect to raise between $1,250 and $1,500,” Cook said.

The event registration will kick off at 9 a.m. Saturday and last until until 10 a.m.

“Walk-ins are welcome, and if you aren’t able to run, donations are also excepted,” Cook said .
