Organiser's description

The St. Raphael Catholic School's Race to DC 5k/1 mile Run/Walk is the flagship fundraising event to help offset the costs of the annual 8th grade trip to Washington D.C. The trip is routinely voted as one of the highlights of the student's experiences as they graduate 8th grade and move on to high school. Participating in this event will help make the trip accessible for all 8th grade students to experience.

This is a fun family orientated event with options for everyone.

Giving back to the community is also important and donations are being collected to benefit Edward Hines VA Hospital. The class of 2025 thanks you in helping show support for our veterans.
