Schechter on the Move Candy 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run

Join us for the 2025 Schechter on the Move 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run, managed and timed by Blue Cheetah Sports Timing. Your participation helps support the Krieger Schechter Day School! We can't wait to see you at this annual event that brings our community together for a day of fitness and fun. All proceeds from the race will support the KSDS Scholarship Fund.

Get ready for our 14th annual event and the first edition of our sweet-themed race! This year, we’re inviting you to race through the whimsical world of Candy Land! As you journey through the course, you'll encounter deliciously fun, candy-themed surprises at every turn. It's like running through a giant candy kingdom, where every step is filled with sweet adventure!

We're excited to bring back our on-campus course for Year 2! The race will once again wind through our beautiful school grounds, offering a dynamic mix of terrain that provides a challenging yet exhilarating experience for all participants. We’re thrilled to create another opportunity for the community to come together in a safe, fun, and familiar environment. Get ready to run, enjoy the camaraderie, and embrace the adventure at this year’s event!

POST-RACE ACTIVITIES TO BE ANNOUNCED! Whether you choose to run or walk, the sweetness doesn’t end at the finish line! Join us for a lively post-race festival, where the fun continues with our amazing community.
