The Fox Point Sunset Road Race is the primary fundraiser for Newington School Supporters (NSS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the educational experience of students at Newington Public School.
Funds raised help support classroom enrichment, hands-on and project-based learning, field trips, educational resources, and extracurricular opportunities that make our small school so special.
This year, proceeds will also help fund a new school playground, creating a space for students to play, explore, connect with nature, and grow.
When you participate, you're doing more than crossing a finish line. You're investing in our students, our school, and our community.
One Race. One Small School. One Big Impact.
