Course, distances and rules

The course starts near the school soccer field and uses the on-campus trail system through wooded sections, including bridge crossings over creeks and a loop around a pond. Runners cross the guarded school road, follow a grassy section back to the start/finish area, and finish with one lap of the soccer field.

  • 3K (ish) - two loops plus a lap of the soccer field
  • 5K - three laps plus a lap of the soccer field

Each finisher receives a small medal. First place team awards: elementary/middle school teams receive a $50 gift card and a gift basket; high school teams receive a $100 gift card and a similar gift basket. Parent and child must remain together for the entire race; separation results in disqualification. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
