Calendar alert — the Annual Marshall School 5K is happening on Sunday, April 26, 2026, and you’re invited!

This beloved community tradition is back, bringing together students, staff, families, and neighbors for a run/walk that begins and ends in Grove Park. Whether you’re chasing a personal record or strolling with a coffee in hand, this event is for everyone.

What to expect:

• A 1-Mile Fun Run (perfect for younger runners and enthusiastic sprinters!)
• The full 5K run/walk through Montrose Park 
• Tons of school spirit
• A morning that builds confidence, resilience, and connection
• Fundraising support for our PTA

The Marshall 5K is more than a race — it’s a celebration of teamwork, healthy habits, and showing our kids what it means to show up for each other.

Ready to join us?

This is a super fun event and there are many opportunities to be a part of it beyond running: adults and kids can join our Cheer Squad or hand out water along the 5K route, and we also need help with runner check-in and event setup.
