Welcome to the Colonel Challenge 5K Run!
The purpose of this event is to raise money to support Magruder High School Athletics. Ample parking available in the Magruder HS parking lot. Our awards ceremony will begin following the Youth Fun Run at approximately at 9:00am.
Baby joggers and strollers are allowed, but you must start in the back. It is your responsibility to make sure that your baby jogger/stroller does not impede other runners, and you must take extra precaution to ensure your safety, your child's safety, and the safety of the runners around you. We reserve the right to pull any participant from the race who is endangering other runners or themselves.
We hope to see you there!
