About Metropolitan Family Services- Community Schools Program
The Community Schools program of Metropolitan brings academic and social supports to schools to ensure that students succeed academically as well as in their future lives. Community Schools engages children in enrichment programming before and after the school day, and on weekends. Such programming includes academic remediation, technology training, art classes, recreation and sports programming. Unfortunately, contracts for such programming do not cover total costs and the 5K has become a strategy to bridge the budget gap.
General Information
Race will begin promptly at 8:00a.m. No dogs, roller blades, bicycles, or skateboards allowed on course.
Our course is USATF Certified!
The 5K Summer Dash uses a disposable chip timing tag that runners receive at packet pick up on their race bibs. It is lightweight and remains attached to the race bib.
