We expect approximately 700 runners to participate this year.  The race will feature a 1 mile fun run at 8:00 AM,  followed by 5K and 8K races beginning at 8:30 AM, l ive music on the race course (Mr. Ronan!), great shirts, and a rockin' runners' village complete a fun family day.  Don't be left out!

We look forward to seeing everyone on February 18th  for the race!  Can't make it on race day?  Sign up for the virtual run option (also a great choice for far-away relatives and grandparents who want to run/walk on their own time and still support our amazing school!).  Click the link below to register:
