Supporting Youth Education!

The Running Scared 5k benefits Youth Education. Funds raised at this event benefit Sts. Peter and Paul Academy. Our students are taught that FAITH, FAMILY, VALUES, RESPONSIBILITY, SERVICE, RESPECT and LOVE OF OUR COUNTRY are the KEYS TO SUCCESS! Our goal this year is to raise $50,000.

The Running Scared 5k was first started in 2008. It is a flat 3.1 mile course through a "spooky" cemetery, ending at a fabulous Halloween Fest! Participants are encouraged to run/walk in costumes. After the race, people are admitted to the post race party where they can listen to music or have a cold beer. They can enjoy food and drinks from our generous sponsors and listen to music while they stay toasty warm inside or gather around the roaring fire outside.
