Our family-friendly 1 mile run/walk and 5k race event is one of two flagship fundraising initiatives for the Lester PTA. Over 35% of our programming budget is generated by the Fun Run and all of its surrounding activities (Experiences, Raffles, Silent Auctions & More)! The goal for this year’s Fun Run is to raise $25,000 – which is reinvested into the PTA's programs and activities that benefit all Lester students! Please Note: If you want to run both the 1mile and the 5K, you must register for each race individually . You will receive a separate timing bib for each race. RACE START TIMES: 5K - 8am, 1mile - 9am Register by midnight on September 5th to be guaranteed a T-shirt; registration for run only will be available up until the race start time on 9/28. Race timing bibs and T-shirts will be distributed to classrooms during the week of 9/22. Any Fun Run questions - please contact the event co-chairs. Thank you for your support! See you on Sept. 28th!
