RPEF Sprint for Our Schools 5K & Family Fun Run

The Ramsey Public Education Foundation invites you to join us as we return to our live and in-person annual Sprint For Our Schools 5K & Family Fun Run on Saturday, May 9th, 2026 brought to you by our Title Sponsor, Ramsey Auto Group. 

Cash prizes awarded to the overall top three runners.  The top three runners in each age group will receive medals. The age groups are as follows: 10 and under, 11-12 years old, 13-18 years old, 19-29 years old, 30-39 years old, 40-49 years old, 50-59 years old, and 60 and over. 

Sprint For Our Schools has become a tradition in Ramsey.  Bright and early, rain or shine, on the second Saturday in May, hundreds of people gather at the Ramsey Community Center ready to run as a community.  You can feel the excitement: The DJ is playing music.  The energy level is high. Our sponsors are in attendance. This year, runners can run our USATF-sanctioned race either on our traditional 5K course or 1 mile Family Fun Run route.  When you register for this race, you are helping support the education experience in Ramsey.  In the past, this event has raised more than $25,000 for Ramsey schools!
