Calling all St Benedict's students preschool through 8th grade - come join the fun! Preschoolers run the 100 yard Tot Trot. K-8th students run the 1 Mile Student Race. Siblings of St Bs students are also welcome to register and run!  *(Parents who need to escort young runners on the 1 mile course must register for the race. See Registration Information below)

Hey parents, teachers/staff and alumni who love to run too - Join the fun and register for the Adult and Alumni 1 Mile Race.  You'll get a t-shirt and medal and be cheered on by the student runners!

It's a lot of fun and a great community event that we look forward to every year!
