5K Bear Walk Run Recap
To kick off formal efforts supporting the Capital Campaign for the Wellness & Athletics Center, TASIS Dorado hosted the 5K Bear Walk/Run on a spectacularly sunny day in September 2018 at Parque Agroturístico Dorado. In addition to the race, community members enjoyed live music, dancing, food trucks, a Zumba class, raffle drawings, a foam party, and fun activities for the kids!
The 5K was a smashing success engaging 500 TD community members and friends while raising over $40,000 in support of the Wellness & Athletics Center. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our 5K Committee, Parent Committee, sponsors, volunteers, and participants who helped make the day so memorable!

About the Future Wellness & Athletics Center
This new facility will lay the foundation for years of exciting competition and personal growth while inviting our community to embrace and maintain a healthy lifestyle focused on nutrition, physical activity, and mental health. The Wellness & Athletics Center will provide state-of-the-art facilities where our students can further develop their leadership skills and cultivate important life skills, including discipline, teamwork, resilience, sportsmanship, and humility. It is a goal of the Wellness Program to have every graduate leave TASIS Dorado with a desire to lead a rewarding and active life.
The venue will feature a gymnasium with A/C, a rock climbing wall, physical fitness facilities, courts for basketball, volleyball, and futsal, as well as a dedicated space for our Wellness Program. An upgrade of surrounding areas is also part of the greater plan with a revitalized soccer field with a turf surface, track & field facilities, and two new playgrounds.
