Event Description

The Tuscarora High School (THS) Athletic and Instrumental Music Boosters were very excited to share the first 5k event to be held at THS with our students and staff, families, and the entire community on Sunday, April 19, 2020.  Then COVID threw up a roadblock. But we are TUSCARORA Strong!

This VIRTUAL race can be done anywhere!  Simply walk, jog, or race a 5k (or do a "Fun Run" at whatever distance you/friends/kids decide) at your convenience from Sunday 1-November to Sunday 15-November.  Results can be uploaded if you so desire (more info to come).  This is a great way to support your local school programs and be a part of our community, especially during these tough times.

Making this event especially momentous is the joining together of our award winning student-athletes and musicians as they work side by side to benefit each of their respective programs.  Because 100% of the athletics budget is derived from fundraising/tickets to games (none this Fall) and about 80% of the music program needs our financial support to continue, proceeds from this 5K race will help our students to secure funding to purchase much needed new athletic equipment and instruments, including components of an entire drumline and new string instruments for the orchestral ensemble. These costs are not covered by FCPS and so we must reach out to our local community for support.

T-shirts for the runners will be available for pickup on Saturday 7-November from 9:00am to noon at Tuscarora High School, 5312 Ballenger Creek Pike, Frederick, MD 21703. 

Help support your local school and make this race a successful fundraiser for both of these worthy THS programs!
