Annual Run Supports Local High School Athletes and Students
Runners, walkers, and strollers (both the ambling kind and the baby-carrying kind) are invited to a heart-healthy event that raises funds for our local high school students! Edward Jones and Warren Coalition are teaming up to host the Edward Jones 5K Race for Education, which benefits the local high school cross country teams and students who need financial assistance for advanced classes.
This year’s race will be held Saturday, March 28th at Warren County Middle School, with registration beginning at 8 am and the race going off at 9 am. The course for this rain or shine event follows the length of Leach Run Parkway and back. Runners and walkers of all levels are encouraged to participate. Baby strollers and leashed dogs are also welcome.
Half of what is raised in this annual fundraiser supports the Warren County High School and Skyline High School cross country teams. The other half provides financial assistance for local high school students to help cover costs associated with Advanced Placement and dual-enrolled courses, such as lab fees and books.

Early registration is currently $25 per adult participant and $20 for students; children four and under are free. The early bird registration prices are good through March 12th, then registration fees will increase by $5. Same-day registrations will be accepted.
