Organiser's Description
It's time to Run for the Gold!! Grab your family and friends and go for a 1 Mile/5K run/walk with us Friday, March 27, 2026!
Last years fun run, 5k, and family fun night was a huge success! Much of that success came from generous sponsors who contributed to the annual fundraiser. We hope this years race and family fun night will be an even bigger success! The race will be held at Oak Grove Elementary School on Friday, Mar. 27th. The one-mile fun run will begin at 6:00 pm, followed by the 5k at 6:15.
Our annual nighttime race and family night features music, food trucks, and more. The success of this event depends greatly on the generous support of community sponsors and friends of Oak Grove like you. Proceeds from the race help fund professional learning opportunities for staff, Leader in Me initiatives for both staff and students, and additional resources that enhance student learning and engagement. With your support, we hope to continue these initiatives this year and expand the resources, programs, equipment, and learning opportunities available to our teachers and students.
