What is the Tubman Fun Run?
Every fall our community comes together to raise essential funds for our school. This fundraising effort culminates in an exciting event for our students where they run laps around a track at Tubman.
In the week leading up to the Fun Run, students will be given nightly challenges to help reach fundraising goals while earning incentives and prizes along the way. On the day of the Fun Run, all students will receive a free Fun Run t-shirt with this year's winning design.
Our primary students will enjoy a glow-in-the-dark track in the gym while our older students will run through a rainbow of colors outside during a color run. The Fun Run is NOT a race; think of it as a jogging dance party with TONS of laughs and excitement along the way.
Grab your pom poms and bells to help cheer on your student on race day, we welcome our community to join for this special Tubman tradition.

The color run is modeled after a national running series in which colored powder is thrown as runners pass. The origins of throwing colored powder began with Holi, a Hindu festival celebrating the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors, is a national holiday in India and typically takes place between the end of February and the beginning of March. In 2024, Holi will take place on March 25th. We feel it is important to highlight that color runs are not celebrations of Holi, but inspired by it, and that Holi is an important cultural holiday that should be acknowledged when its traditions are imitated.
