Whitehills 5K Run/Walk - CANCELLED 2023

Short review

Welcome

The sixth Annual Whitehills 5K Run/Walk Race will be held Sunday September,13th 2020. The course is measured and chip-timed. There is also a free half-mile Kids Fun Run (no registration necessary). Race proceeds will go toward needs identified by Whitehills Elementary School, which serves a diverse population. About 30% of Whitehills students receive free and reduced lunch; race profits allow the Whitehills School Association to serve the needs of our entire student population (see recently funded projects here). Come and enjoy the beautiful tree lined streets through the Whitehills neighborhood and enjoy refreshments after the race. All ages and abilities welcome! 

New Date Notice

In June 2019, the current Whitehills Elementary building was demolished, clearing the way for a brand-new building to be built.  The new building will be done by late August 2020, which means a new date in September for the race will be better for all participants to see the new building.
