Your participation in this race will support our teachers and teacher programs. During the registration process, you'll be able to designate the teacher(s) you want to honor. The teachers and staff do so much for us every day! Let's get out there and run/walk a 5K for them. 

Here’s how it works:

Registrations made AFTER February 25th are not guaranteed a t-shirt or prefer t-shirt size. Virtual participants will have the option to race over the weekend. 

** Price Per Person is $25 / Max of $100 per household. Please fill out a paper registration if you have a family larger than 4 people. Click here to download registration form. ** 

2.) Attention Virtual Racers: If you want your times published on our leaderboard, please submit your times via RunSignup. We are using the honor system. (So, even if you don't run/walk the distance, no one will know. Enjoy your shirt anyway!)

3.) We are offering an in-person t-shirt pick-up. Race numbers and T-shirts for Oak Grove families will be sent home with students the day of the race. All other participants can pick up race packets on race day.  Virtual Packet Pick-up will be offered as well. Location and Dates to be determined. Please watch your e-mail for updates.

We live in a wonderful city. Peachtree City is full of wooded paths, nature preserves, parks, and lakes. Let's use this as an excuse to go outside and enjoy our community! Register today, and let's celebrate our school and run/walk virtually together!
