📌Race info for Sunday

The 5K and 1.5 mile run will begin at 8:00am Sunday morning rain or shine! Please park in front of Windthorst Elementary and walk down past the playground to the football concession stand to check in, get your bib # and pickup shirts (if you pre-registered). Please note we are officially OUT of adult size shirts, but you can still come sign up and run! Both races will begin on the track and end on the football field. Water will be handed out on the 5K course and available afterwards in the concession stand.

The Health walk will take place on the track during the 5K and 1.5 mile. Feel free to walk as far or long as you can, and cheer on our runners as they sprint towards the finish!

Awards, donated by Roy and Diane Conrady, will be given when all runners cross the finish line! Official timing will be done by Styles Athletic Performance!

The kids races will begin at noon on the football field! Come by the concession stand starting at 11:30 to pick up shirts if pre-registered or to sign up!! We still have a handful of YOUTH shirts available. We will begin with the one and under girls/boys and go up from there. Give a big thank you to Terry and Scotta Schroeder if you see them for always donating the cost of the shirts!

At the completion of the fun run, stop by the turtle races, grab a bite to eat, play some games, then stick around for the auction! It's a wonderful day full of fun, amazing food, and fellowship - all benefiting St Mary's Church.
