Elves for Enka 5k
About this race
Enjoy the beautiful, challenging 5K course on the campus of Enka high school while raising money for a great cause! Elves for Enka is entering its 15th year as a program to support Enka high school students in need by providing them with holiday gifts and essentials. This inaugural 5K will provide our school with additional funds to continue this amazing program which serves approximately 200 students per year. This course winds through the trails surrounding the high school and offers a classic out and back route with a beautiful view! Both runners and walkers are welcomed to this event! And for our kids participating in the fun run – – look out! The Grinch may make an appearance! We are eager to host kids, adults, and community members to this race!
