TEXAS – IDEA Public Schools is set to host its first-ever virtual 5K Walk/Run on Saturday, April 3, 2021, at 8 a.m.
As part of IDEA’s mission to become the healthiest district in America, IDEA hosts an annual 5K Run/Walk in each of its large regions to engage students, families, and the community in a fun, educational opportunity to be active.
All proceeds from this year’s 5K will go towards IDEA’s Healthy Kids Here Initiative. IDEA started Healthy Kids Here seven years ago with the goal of becoming the healthiest district in the country. IDEA believes that in order for students to get to and through college and beyond, they also need a foundation of knowledge and skills necessary to maintain their health.
In light of COVID-19, IDEA is switching to one virtual 5K Run/Walk, hoping that families, schools, and communities in Texas and Louisiana will train virtually for this year’s 5K Run/Walk together and develop a habit of being active together, while apart.
ENTRY FEES
IDEA Student Fun Run: Free, DOES NOT include race shirt or bib
IDEA Student Competitors: $10, includes race shirt & bib
