American International College and the K-12 Teacher's Alliance present the fourth annual Run for Education. This 5k race highlights the great importance of our PreK-12 educators in both our children's lives and in our communities.
The Run for Education is an extension of AIC's long-standing commitments to create future educators and support our regional school systems. In the spirit of both academic and physical fitness, participants will run through historic Springfield neighborhoods and end on AIC’s campus. The top three running teams will receive a cash prize, with an additional cash donation made to the school of their choice.
