We are challenging all Charter Oak faculty, staff, campus PTAs, and school clubs to form a running club on your campus and train together! Which of our Charter Oak schools will have the greatest show of participation?
Serious runners, we are happy to announce that we have electronic chip timing and the Run is on all hard surfaces!!
Not a runner or walker? No problem! The vendor booths will be making a return for all to peruse and shop. Cheer from the stands, and pose for the camera! This is a fun way to show school pride.
Be the Match will be joining us to do cheek swabs to look for that match for Coach Lou Farrar and anyone else that might be in need of a stem cell match.
This is a family event, and we are all here for the kids. To encourage our students to get out and move, participation medals are given to youth only who complete in the 1 Mile Run/Walk.
1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd place winners in each age category both male and female in the 5K will receive medals, and the male and female who comes in 1 st overall will receive 1 st place overall plaques.
The Oak Tree Challenge is hosted by the Charter Oak Education Foundation. It gives us a wonderful opportunity to begin the 2019-2020 school year with a running start, while coming together as a community to raise money for our Charter Oak schools. Last year, our Oak Tree Challenge participants and partners raised $10,000! Let’s surpass that milestone! Register today!
