Something for everyone!
Join CHA students, families, alumni, and friends to raise money for our Train Up Campaign. Not a runner? Walkers are welcome! With a 5K, 1 Mile, or Kids' Dash for the youngest students, we have something for everyone. Races begin and end on campus.
All 5K participants registered by October 2 will receive a navy Port & Co® Core Fleece Pullover Hooded Sweatshirt and a multi-use headwrap/neck gaiter. All racers will also receive finisher packs with hydration and refueling snacks. Guests and participants alike will want to visit our Friends of CHA Sponsorship Village, which includes paid concessions (coffee, hot chocolate, cider, and donuts).
5K Medals will be awarded to the first place finisher in each age category, and students in our 1 Mile and Kids' Dashes will receive a commemorative race decal.
We'll end the morning with a groundbreaking ceremony for our new Activity Center at 10:00 AM.
NOTE: Non-CHA participants of all ages are welcome! If you are registering a school-aged student who does not attend CHA for the 5K or 1 Mile, select the catagory below marked "Adults | non-CHA students". Any Dash selection is fine for non-CHA students. During registration, select (or admin can later assign) a "team" that is NOT a grade level fundraising team, like 1st grade, since only CHA students are participating in a fundraising challenge.
