The Rat Race 5k Run/Walk

The Rat Race, hosted by the HURON BOOSTER CLUB, is an annual fundraiser to support _all _sports offered at Huron! Home of the River Rats, Huron is a comprehensive high school in the Ann Arbor School District, with a student population of nearly 1800 students. It has one of the largest populations of Schools of Choice students and low-income students in Washtenaw County.

_WHY IS HOSTING IMPORTANT? _ Research shows that high schoolers who participate in sports manage stress better, feel a stronger sense of community, and are at low risk of engaging in risky behaviors. We want to make interscholastic athletics accessible to all students.

HURON STUDENTS AND STAFF _can register for a discounted rate._ Must provide school ID at check-in!
