The event is a fundraiser for Leopold Parent/Faculty Organization (PFO). Our purpose is to ensure that parents and school faculty work together in support of the children of Leopold Elementary.
The 1 mile event is open to anyone who wishes to participate. Medals will be awarded to the top 3 boys and girls in each grade level kindergarten through 5th grade. Athletes will be sent out in waves, in one minute intervals. The waves will be sent in the following order, starting at 1:00pm:
The course is a one-mile loop around the Leopold Elementary school grounds. The starting line and finish line are near the main entrance to the school. Click here to view the 1 Mile Course.
The 5km Community Fun Run is also open to anyone who wishes to participate. Medals will be awarded to the top 3 male and female runners. The 5k run will have a mass start (1 wave) at 1:30pm.
The course shares the same schoolground loop around Leopold Elementary as the 1 mile event, and continues with a loop through the Arbor Hills neighborhood. Same starting and finish line as the 1 mile run. Click here to view the 5k Course.
The prize drawing will commence once the last 5k participant has crossed the finish line, with the awards ceremony to follow.
Registration forms for 2008 will be available at a later date.
