About the Race ...
This fun-filled event is a great opportunity to get fit with your family and friends and help support the students of St. Alexander School.
This annual fundraiser has raised more than $321,000 for our School Technology Department since the inaugural kick-off in 2014, which has allowed St. Al's to remain on the cutting edge of technology. Proceeds this year will be used for our Applied Tech/Robotics Lab with new furnishings and workstations to enhance the learning environment. In 2024, the Raider Run funds made it possible for the school to purchase new iPads, new Chromebooks, and Lego Robotics Expansion Kits.
All students from PreK through 8th grade will benefit from the new technology. Help us keep our Technology Department up to date!
Please sign up today to be part of the Raider Run 5K so we give the children of St. Al's access to the best technology and prepare for high school, college and beyond!
