Healthy bodies support healthy minds! Grab your running shoes, family and friends, and participate in an invigorating, safe, and family friendly run in the Latimer Lane School district. All proceeds go directly back to the school and its students and provide enhancements to the Latimer Lane Physical Education Program. Previous race proceeds have purchased a Gaga Pit, sleds, a map for the primary playground, a basketball hoop, a climbing tower, and balls for each of the classes (to name a few). As a reminder to those participating, our race largely focuses on promoting healthy habits for kids and families. This is reflected in the large portion on younger ages who receive awards upon completion. The Race Director chooses age categories to reflect the number of students participating. While we encourage participation from the larger community, please keep this in mind as you register. Mile Run awards will be specifically given to kids in elementary school. Mark your calendars! On October 4, 2026 , the Latimer Lane School Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) will host the 13th annual Run Back to School 5K, 1 Mile, & Fun Run .
