Band on the Run

About the Event

Let’s hear it for the band!!

You are cordially invited to the Kettering Fairmont Band Boosters 2nd Annual Band on the Run 5k Walk/Run event that aims at promoting fitness, community engagement, school spirit, but most of all….FUN!

Join us on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at Kettering Fairmont High School located at 3301 Shroyer Road. Kettering, Ohio. Feel free to march, walk, run, jog or even skip through the 5k course set up on the grounds of Kettering Fairmont High School. The race is set to begin at 10 a.m. from door 2 (near the main entrance of the high school). The cost is $40 for participants 12 & up; $30 for kids under 12. All registrants prior to May 15th will get a BOTR participant t-shirt. (On site registration will be available on day of event. Limited t-shirts will also be available for purchase). Register by going to Speedy-feet.com.

This is a “fun”draising event created to support over 800 students participating in the bands (concert, marching, jazz, athletic, indoor percussion, symphonic & wind symphony) and color guard programs at Kettering schools in grades 6-12. Because financial support is vital, all funds raised will help with instrument & uniform maintenance & repair, music & show development, band camp, travel expenses and much more.

Become a part of a great event with an even greater cause…celebrating and assisting the talented, dedicated and hardworking band and color guard members. There will be raffle baskets, door prizes, vendors, food trucks and novelty treats available—something for everyone to enjoy!

We look forward to seeing you at the Band on the Run 5k Walk/ Run on May 31st! Please spread the word to your friends, neighbors and family. It’s going to be so much fun!!

About Kettering

Learn more about the host city, Kettering.

Kettering is a town of 60,749 people in north Northamptonshire. Kettering owes much of its heritage and growth to the arrival of the railway during the mid-1800s. Today the town is again rapidly expanding, this time as a result of the A14, which connects the M1 with several ports on the east coast. Many new housing developments and large industrial estates can be found on the outskirts of the town. Kettering is home of Weetabix's UK breakfast cereal production.
