Register NOW for Guaranteed Fun Run Shirt!

Be part of the 32nd Annual Morris Brandon Fun Run on Saturday, April 21, 2018 (rain date Saturday, April 28, 2018)! Register HERE by noon on Monday, April 9, for Early Bird pricing of $15 AND to guarantee a t-shirt. (After this date, the price rises to $20 and the t-shirt is no longer guaranteed!)

Fun Runs are a lot more fun when you have trained for a race. Therefore, it is not a one day event! Students will have the opportunity to run during recess. But, they need the opportunity to train at home as well.  Help your child set training goals, and write them down in THIS LOG. For more info, check out these websites with training tips, plans, and goals for kids HERE.
