The 13th Annual Sandy Erickson Race for Christian Education 5K and Fun Run

About This Activity

The 13th Annual Sandy Erickson Race for Christian Education 5K + Fun Run is Sunday, November 3, 2024.  This event is a family-friendly event with a competitive edge. The Kids Fun Run is approximately a one-mile loop, geared towards Kindergarten through Second grade.  The 5K is timed with a chip for those wanting some competition! 

We run in honor of Sandy Erickson, who taught 1st grade for over 20 years at Collegedale Academy.  When diagnosed with A.L.S. (Lou Gehrig' Disease), Sandy maintained her cheery attitude and sense of humor, exemplifying Christ's selflessness.  Proceeds go to the A.L.S. Foundation and primarily the Worthy Student Fund at Collegedale Academy for grades K-12.
