The Exeter Elementary PTO is hosting its 26th Annual Get Fit in May on Saturday, May 18, 2024! The event includes a 5K run/fitness walk, plus ½ mile and 1 mile fun runs for the kids. Please see event website at www.getfitinmay.com for race day schedule - fun runs kick off at 8:30 and the 5K at 9:30)!
This wonderful community event has become a vital fundraiser for the Exeter Elementary PTO. Proceeds from the road race provide funding for school programs and initiatives not included in the school budget including: classroom technology, field trip transportation, staff appreciation events, teacher supplies, music & art enrichment, student council, playground equipment, and more. These educational opportunities enhance the classroom and school experience for all our children!
TEAM COMPETITION
For the student 5K and fun runs, you will be asked to identify your child's grade if they are a MSS/LSS student. The grade with the most student registrants will win a special prize after race day!
SENIOR DISCOUNT
Our race is endorsed by the New England 65 Plus Runners Club (www.ne65plus.org)! As such, we offer a $5 registration discount to any runner who is 65 or older on race day!
AWARDS
We will be offering a cash award to our top-place male, female, and non-binary runner! We will also have 5 year age groups with an award for the top runner in each: M/F/NB <10, 10-14, 15-19....85-89, 90+
