Super Scout 5k

The Shepard Elementary School PTSO, in Columbia Missouri, is sponsoring the second Super Scout 5K to help Cub Scout Pack 733 raise 10,000 pounds of food for the BSA “Scouting for Food” program. Food and cash collected will help The Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri. The 2014 race brought 110 runners which helped the Pack donate $525 to the Food Bank to complete our donation of the equivalent of 9,009 pounds of food.

The March 7, 2015 race will be a little different this year as Pack 733 is coordinating local first responder and law enforcement organizations to run in the race. The Columbia Police Department, the Boone County Sheriff’s Department, the Boone County Fire District, and the Columbia Fire Department each plan to send five runners to make up a “Super Team.” Super Teams will create friendly competition between the departments. This race-within-a-race is intended to attract attention to this “Scouting for Food” event. In addition, we are adding a one mile fun run to encourage younger runners to participate.

Come and run or walk to help Cub Scout Pack 733 collect 10,000 pounds of food for The Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri. Overall winners receive BSA popcorn. Race finishers receive a race t-shirt and the exclusive Super Scout 5K patch. Come run with or cheer on your favorite local hero.

5K Entry Fees: All runners and walkers are $20; plus 5 cans of food OR $5 for the food bank.

After February 15, 2015 the entry fee goes up to $25 plus 5 cans of food OR $5

1 Mile Fun Run: All runners and walkers are $10. (Includes a t-shirt and food bank donation)

Important information and updates are posted on our Facebook page at “Super Scout 5K”.

Packet pick up will be at Shepard Elementary School on March 6th from 4pm to 7 pm.
