400M Events (1 lap of field)
Description
Bring your family and friends for a fun-filled afternoon at the Saltus 5K, 1 Mile, or—perfect for younger children—one lap around the field (approximately 400m). NEW this year is the Toddler Trot (18-35 months) , a 40m dash for the littlest participants. After the race, enjoy a bouncy castle and a fundraising bake sale at the finish line. Be sure to bring cash if you'd like to buy snacks and baked goods!
All races start and finish on the sports field at the Saltus St John’s Road campus. Saltus students will earn house points for participating, and the year group with the most participants will win a pizza lunch! Non-Saltus students and families are encouraged to participate as well.
