Please join us for the 2nd Annual FINS UP 5K RUN/WALK on Sat, Mar 30, 2024. New for this year, we are excited to announce the addition of a 1 MILE KIDS FUN RUN! Both events are proudly brought to you by the Sugarloaf School PTO.
Come be a part of a great race for a great cause! This family friendly race is open to all ages and abilities. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate. The race will begin and end at the Sugarloaf School Park at the corner of Crane Blvd and US1. Plenty of parking is available in the school parking lots and in the grass areas along Crane Blvd (please do not park on the bike path!).
Proceeds raised will directly support the amazing students and staff at Sugarloaf School through the PTO and Shark Mini Cheer Squad programs.
