St. John the Baptist School's(SJBS) Charger 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run will start near the Boyce Park Ski Lodge. Our 5K is unique in the fact that the race is ran on a hybrid course in beautiful Boyce Park consisting of 1.4 miles on pavement (45%) and 1.71 miles on trail (55%). The race organizers believe with the almost entirely flat course and one large downhill section of the course that several runners could set PR's at the event. 100% of proceeds of race will benefit St. John the Baptist School & its students. You can view a virtual tour of our race by visiting the following link: http://www.screencast.com/t/mD82O8TAd.
