About » 5K Spirit Run

5K Spirit Run

The annual 5K Spirit Run is an important funding source for making inclusive Catholic education accessible to children with special needs at Holy Spirit School. Each year, we strive to raise $25,000 to assist with additional costs required for licensed special education professionals, continuous professional development for our staff, and classroom materials.

 

11th Annual 5K Spirit Run - Saturday, May 16, 2026

Starting at 8AM on May 16th, the 5K will be held in the neighborhood surrounding Holy Spirit School and Church, with start and end points at the school. The race is officially timed by Commonwealth Timing Company, but please note, this is not a certified 5K racecourse.

Online registration is open to participate as a runner or walker. All 5K participants who register by midnight April 24th will receive a free t-shirt.
