The Egg-Cellent 5k Fun Run is Benefiting the Cherokee High School Junior Class. -Join us the Saturday before Easter on April 4th @9am for the Egg-cellent 5K Fun Run, a spring race with a twist — all to support the Junior Class at Cherokee High School and help fund this year’s prom. This isn’t your average 5K. Along the 3.1-mile course, runners will find color-coded eggs hidden throughout each mile. Participants may collect one egg per color — so keep your eyes open and choose wisely! Eggs may contain candy, small prizes, or a few “egg-stra” special surprises. Whether you’re racing for time or just out for a fun jog with friends, this event is designed to be family-friendly, festive, and just the right amount of competitive. Come ready to run, have fun, and make an egg-cellent difference for our Juniors.
