We are so excited to host an in-person fun run again! Our Hot Chocolate Fun Run event will begin at 4:15 and the race will start promptly at 4:45. Enjoy music from Big Cat DJ, pre-race water and snacks provided by Fresh Thyme, and post-race hot chocolate and treats. You won't want to miss out on the fun!

Packet pick-up will take place during parent teacher conferences on Tuesday, October 18th and Thursday, October 20th outside of the main office between 4:30-7:30. Only those who register by Friday, October 7th will be guaranteed a race t-shirt.

The starting line for both the 5K and the 1 mile runs will begin on Hill Street outside of the Whittier main entrance. Please see the attached race map. The blue line outlines the 1 mile run and the red line outlines the 5K (3 laps). The first lap of the 5K will extend to Farley Place, but laps 2 and 3 will turn onto Summit.
