Description
Join us for the 2024 Schechter on the Move 5K Color Run and 1 Mile Color Fun Run, managed 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.
**NEW FOR 2024**
We are thrilled to host our first-ever themed race! Join us for a Color Run! Throughout the course, runners will be doused from head to toe in colored powder. It's like running through a giant rainbow tunnel!
This year, we are also excited to announce a new course route, which will be entirely on our campus. The course will offer a dynamic mix of terrain, winding its way through our school grounds and creating a challenging yet exhilarating experience for participants. So, get ready to run, laugh, and get messy at the 5k Color Run.
POST-RACE ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING YOGA, ZUMBA, AND MORE TO BE ANNOUNCED! You can run or walk the Color Run, then continue the fun with a post-race cool-down activity. Choose your optional post-race add-on during registration.
NEW REGISTRATION OPTION: Are you not a morning person and want to join us later for the post-race activities? Or do you just want to cheer on your KSDS family? Can't make it but want to support the event? The Race Supporter option is for you! You can arrive early and cheer on our runners, arrive later for the post-race festivities, or if you can't make it, register for this option to still support our cause and event.
DONATE AND/OR FUNDRAISE
We can't do it without your help - During the registration process, you can create your own fundraiser or donate to Krieger Schechter Day School. Please consider an additional contribution to help raise the critical funds needed to ensure a Krieger Schechter education is possible for all who wish to be part of our community.

VIRTUAL OPTION
We have created a virtual race option for those who would like to participate but are not local or cannot attend the in-person race. Here's how the virtual race works:
1. Register for the virtual event and sign up for text or e-mail notifications.
2. Your race swag will be available for pickup at our pre-race packet pickup sessions (see below) or can be mailed to you (for an additional fee).
3. You'll receive a text or email (if you opt-in) when the virtual race "starts" on June 2nd.
4. Run your race and submit your results by text message or email (if you've opted in) or by heading to the results page here by June 4th). Results update in real-time as people submit their times. Be sure to take a selfie and share it through the runsignup.com photo page or download your photo(s) when you report your results.
*Virtual race performances are not eligible for the overall event awards, but we'll certainly acknowledge the winners in our post-race communication.
