Join CHA students, families, alumni, and friends to raise money for our Train Up Campaign. Not a runner? Walkers are welcome! With a 5K, 1 Mile, and two Kids' Dashes for the youngest students, we have something for everyone. Races begin and end on campus.
All 5K participants registered before October 1 will receive a hooded sweatshirt. Post-race, all participants will receive a finisher pack and replenishing drinks and snacks. Guests and participants alike will want to visit our Friends of CHA Sponsorship Village, which includes paid concessions (coffee, hot chocolate, cider, and donuts). All proceeds benefit the Train Up Campaign.
We'll end the morning with a groundbreaking ceremony for our new Activity Center at 10:00 AM.
