What is the Mountaineer 5k?
The Mountaineer 5k is a 5-kilometer race. We welcome, runners, walkers, wheelchairs and strollers, but no pets allowed.
The race benefits Summit Academy Mountaineers athletics and clubs. These include: basketball, flag football, badminton, soccer, cross country, wrestling, volleyball, baseball, softball, yearbook club, and the ambassadors club. These sports and clubs provide students the opportunity to participate in competitions, develop communication skills and work as a team. We are hoping to raise money to provide new equipment to the students that will enrich there extra curricular experiences.
We also want to raise health and fitness awareness and this is a great opportunity to start or continue your wellness journey!
