About the Event

Our family-friendly 1 mile run/walk and 5k race event is one of two flagship fundraising initiatives for the Lester PTA. Over 35% of our programming budget is generated by the Fun Run and all of its surrounding activities (Experiences, Raffles, Silent Auctions & More)!

The goal for this year’s Fun Run is to raise $25,000 – which is reinvested into the PTA's programs and activities that benefit all Lester students!  

Please Note: 
  • If you want to run both the 1mile and the 5K, you must register for each race individually.  You will receive a separate timing bib for each race. 
  • RACE START TIMES: 5K - 8am, 1mile -  9am
  • Register by midnight on September 5th to be guaranteed a T-shirt; registration for run only will be available up until the race start time on 9/28.
  • Race timing bibs and T-shirts will be distributed to classrooms during the week of 9/22.
Any Fun Run questions - please contact the event co-chairs.  Thank you for your support!  See you on Sept. 28th!  Amy Heitkamp (419-235-6839), Adam DeMong (740-707-4751), Dina Ibach  (312-860-7471)
