All other students will run (or walk) a fun 1-mile.

This event is for your RUSD students and kicks off the Foundation's annual 2026-27 Family Giving Campaign to raise $2M for RUSD. Run for Reed begins and ends at Blackie's Pasture and takes the runners around McKegney Green and the South Knoll field.

HEADS UP: A LITTLE LESS ROOM THIS YEAR
There's construction fencing along the bay side from the Greenwood Beach Restoration Project, so we have less space than usual at the start and finish. Please help us out by standing to the side or behind the runners rather than right at the lines, and keeping the path clear. Our volunteers will point you to the best spots.
