Join CHA students, families, alumni, and friends to raise money for our Train Up Campaign. Not a runner? Walkers are welcome! With a 5K, 1 Mile, and two Kids' Dashes for the youngest students, we have something for everyone. Races begin and end on campus. All 5K participants registered before October 1 will receive a hooded sweatshirt. Post-race, all participants will receive a finisher pack and replenishing drinks and snacks. Guests and participants alike will want to visit our Friends of CHA Sponsorship Village, which includes paid concessions (coffee, hot chocolate, cider, and donuts). All proceeds benefit the Train Up Campaign. We'll end the morning with a groundbreaking ceremony for our new Activity Center at 10:00 AM. 7:15 AM - Final packet pickup and late registration (note: sweatshirts and finisher packs may not be available for late registrants) 7:30 AM - Friends of CHA Village opens, including paid concessions 7:45 AM - Pre-race announcements and group warm-ups 8:00 AM - 5K begins 8:15 AM - 1 Mile begins 9:00 AM - Inflatables Dash 9:15 AM - 1/4 Mile Kids' Dash 9:30 AM - 50 Yard Kids' Dash 9:45 AM - Post-race awards and announcements 10:00 AM - Activity Center Groundbreaking 10:30 AM - Event teardown and clean up
