Band on the Run 5K

Are you ready to run, walk & roll!

Help Support Linden High School Marching Band with this fantastic new event.  This 5k will take you through the campus of Linden Community Schools.  Start and finish on the 50 yard line of Claude Cranston Stadium.  The marching band will be out on course to motivate and inspire you along your run.

There will be a 1/2 mile kids run that will start 30 minutes before the 5k start.

No separate walk category available, but we encourage walkers to participate.
