At last year’s 31st Annual George M. Thayer 5K/10K Run, held by the Kiwanis Club of Camarillo, local radio personality Bo Jaxson participated as part of a publicity stunt wearing a wedding dress from Camarillo Bridal, accompanied by “bridesmaids” from the local store.

This year, the 32nd Annual George M. Thayer 5K/10K Run, to be held April 10, 2010, is accompanied by the 1st Annual Crazy Publicity Stunt Contest, where your company can enter a team of runners in crazy costumes and/or carrying crazy props for your own social media extravaganza.  Click here for official rules and entry form.

So long as you keep it safe and family friendly, your team of up to five runners can participate in our 5K run, take videos and pictures, and use it for your social media marketing.  The Kiwanis Club of Camarillo will also be video recording the various teams and posting clips on our blog where members of the community will be able to vote for their favorite team.

Your Publicity Stunt Contest entries must be received no later than March 30, 2010, so fill them out and send them in!!!  This is a fun and inexpensive way to marketing your business and help the community at the same time.  All proceeds from the run go to the George M. Thayer Scholarship Fund and other projects carried out by the Kiwanis Club of Camarillo to benefit the children of our community.

This year the Kiwanis Club of Camarillo will be hosting its 32nd George M. Thayer 5K/10K Run on April 10, 2010. Every year, we welcome hundreds of runners to participate in this event, which raises money for the George M. Thayer Scholarship Fund and other projects our club carries out to benefit the children of Camarillo.

This year, however, we’re adding a new and exciting opportunity for local businesses.  Inspired by last year’s entry of local radio DJ Bo Jaxson, who ran in our 5K Race wearing a bridal gown from Camarillo Bridal accompanied by the ladies from the shop wearing bride’s maids veils, the Kiwanis Club of Camarillo is proud to announce its First Annual Crazy Publicity Stunt Contest!

Photograph and/or video tape your company’s team as they run in our 5K Race in silly costumes and/or carry silly props, then upload your pictures and/or videos to your social media accounts.  The winner of the race will be chosen by the local citizenry who will vote for their favorites here on our blog.  Folks are encouraged to watch the 5K Race then come online to our blog to vote for the team with the costumes and/or props that they liked the best!  A special voting widget will be placed on this site on the day of the race for people to vote.

Once you’ve uploaded your pictures and/or videos, post a comment to the blog article that will be published when we announce the winner so we can see them!  For official rules and entry form, click here.
