THE DAY OF THE JOG-A-THON 
The Jog-a-thon will be held during the school day on Friday, October 27. Each grade will be allotted 15 minutes to run as many laps as they can. Each lap is approximately 1/5 of a mile. The event is a school wide favorite. The 6th graders will get to test their speed as we finish the day with the 6th Grade Fastest Lap event. This one lap race is always a crowd pleaser complete with trophies.

If you have any questions about the Jog-a-thon, please reach out to Paige Brokaw at [email protected]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
Below is the race day schedule for each grade — families are welcome to attend the event and cheer on the kids!

Rich Hanna with Capitol Road Race Management will be setting up the famous course and emceeing the event. We’re lucky to have this professional touch at our jog-a-thon — Rich does it as a favor as his kids are Phoebe alum! 

Each grade will run for 15-minutes. The top boy and girl runners will receive medals. 

We will have snacks for the kids after they run. 

All jog-a-thon swag  — the shirts, socks, sweatshirts, etc. they earned from fundraising — will be distributed by Wednesday, Oct 23 so the kids can wear their jog-a-thon gear on that Friday. 

It’s going to be a ton of fun! Thanks for all of your support making this a successful jog-a-thon!
