Organiser's Description

This family-friendly 5K AND 1 MILE FUN RUN/WALK will raise funds to enhance the quality and impact of student learning experiences in Spotsylvania County Public Schools (SCPS) through the Spotsylvania Education Foundation (SEF).

SEF is hosting both in-person and virtual options for the race this year! Participants will register to complete their 5K or 1 Mile Fun Run in-person (_1 Mile in-person is for students ages 12 and under only_) on SEPTEMBER 12 or complete the Virtual 5K or 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk (both adults and students) at a location of your choosing during race weekend: SEPTEMBER 12-13. Race bibs and t-shirts* will be available for pick up on September 10 and 11 and race morning. If the in-person portion is cancelled for any reason, all registrations will move to virtual.

*REGISTRATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY SEPTEMBER 1 TO GUARANTEE A RACE T-SHIRT. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE A T-SHIRT AFTER SEPTEMBER 1, 2026. SELECTION OF SIZE DURING REGISTRATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE A T-SHIRT.

The Spotsylvania Education Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, supports innovative programs and projects for the students and employees of Spotsylvania County Public Schools, which enhance student learning and contribute to success after graduation.
