Greenwood Scholarship 5K and Fun Run
About this race
Ready to get your "spook" on for a great cause? Kick off the Halloween season with a morning of fitness, frights, and fun at the Greenwood 5K Spirit Race! Whether you’re a competitive runner chasing a PR or a family looking for a festive stroll, this event is for you.
The Mission: Every step you take helps fund specialized educational support and resources for students with learning differences in our Jacksonville community.
The Vibe: High energy, community-focused, and wonderfully weird.
The Fun: Costumes aren't just allowed—they’re highly encouraged!
EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:
Costume Contest: We’re handing out prizes for the Best Individual Costume and Best Group Costume.
Trunk or Treat: The finish line is just the beginning. Stick around after the race for our community Trunk or Treat—perfect for the kids (and the young at heart).
Support Local Students: Every student deserves a path to success. Greenwood School serves Jacksonville families by providing specialized support for students with learning differences. To ensure our doors remain open to all, our non-profit relies on charitable giving to power our scholarship fund. We are committed to the belief that a family’s financial circumstances should never stand in the way of a child’s education.
Join us in making a difference—one stride at a time!
