Join us at the Paideia Back-to-School 5K for a fun, family-friendly event held by Paideia Classical Christian School!
This race is designed to kick off the school year with energy, connection, and community spirit. It will be held August 22nd, two weeks before classes begin and welcomes runners and walkers of all ages and abilities—from seasoned athletes to first-time participants.
Students, families, and friends are invited for a morning of movement and celebration marking the first of what we hope will become a cherished annual tradition for our school. Rooted in our school’s growing love for running and strong cross country culture, the race also reflects the excitement around the continued expansion of athletics at Paideia!
Each registered participant will receive a race bib equipped with a timing chip, allowing for accurate race results provided by Huber Timing Services, as well as a commemorative race shirt.
Register as a group for a discount! Groups of 4 or more will be refunded $4.00 per registrant.
Whether you're racing for a personal best or simply enjoying the course with friends, our goal is to provide a fun, well-organized experience that reflects the heart of our school.
All participants, families, and spectators are encouraged to pack a picnic and stay to enjoy time together at Mary S. Young Park as we prepare for the year ahead. Come be part of this meaningful start to the school year—we can’t wait to see you at the starting line!
