About the Event

Help send students on an educational trip of a lifetime! This event will help send multiple students at St. John's Lutheran School overseas in 2027 to England, France, Germany and Switzerland with amazing experiences in London, Paris, the Swiss Alps, a German concentration camp and more!

Come run or walk this 5K color fundraiser in our cute and supportive subdivision. This partly shaded course has mild rolling hills and friendly neighbors who will cheer you on! Students will be on the course at the color stations, though you can choose not to be colored.

For the serious runner, the event will be timed, though there are no official awards or prizes. There will be a pace vehicle and sweeper vehicle as well as volunteers on the course to assure participant safety. This is an open course (local traffic possible).

Post-race refreshments will be provided. However there will not be restrooms available. Please plan accordingly.

Race will be postponed until September in the event of heavy rain or thunderstorms.

Donations towards the trip will be accepted also, if you can't participate or want to provide funds above the race entry cost.
