The Hope School is a K-12 institution located in the small community of Hope, Alaska. The school prides itself on meeting the individual needs of each student. As the only school located in Hope, they serve as a true pillar of the community. Hope only has about 200 year-round residents, and thus their PTO plays an active and critical role in planning and providing funds to support students, materials, and activities for the school. Through the Mineshaft Grinder, we hope to raise funds to support the work of the Hope School's PTO in providing much-needed educational opportunities and experiences to local students.
While registration fees help us cover the cost of hosting this race, donations will go directly to the Hope School. Please consider making a contribution to support Hope's youth!
