SLA Road To Glory 5k

About the Event

Welcome to the first annual Sla Road To Glory 5k. This race was at one point called the sla anyway 5k which was started as a virtual race in 2021 by SLA alumni Ethan Chen, the AnyWay 5k was a way to help spread his passion for running with the SLA community. We are continuing his legacy by holding a new way to do this event which is the brand new SLA Road To Glory 5k.

No matter if you are part of or outside of the SLA community, everyone is welcome to join in on our race. All registrations, donations, and profits made from this race will directly be given to SLA Home and School to support the SLA community and this race. We would like to thank Braskem for sponsoring this event and making this all possible!
