Registration Options
5k Run/Walk: Select the appropriate option (LSR7 Student OR 5k Run/Walk Participant).
Dream Partner/Virtual Participant: Support the event, but sleep in or run the 5k on your own time!
Kids Dash: Fun run on the track for kiddos up to 6th grade. This can be added onto a 5k registration.
Kids Dash will begin on the track at the conclusion of the 5K Run/Walk (typically between 8:30 and 9 a.m.). Children will run in groups with like-aged kids. The oldest children will run approximately 200 meters (half lap). The youngest children will run approximately 50 meters.
5K registration is not included with a Kids Dash registration. Please sign up for the 5K and the Kids Dash if you'd like to participate in both events.
Choose the Kids Dash with T-shirt option if you want a t-shirt. Registrations must be received by September 27 to receive a t-shirt.
Please note that the youth shirts run small. You might want to size up.
This event was originally established to also honor the memory of former LSR7 student, Carrie Foresee.
