From the Organizer
Live and Virtual options!
2026 will be the 13 year anniversary of the St. Louis Hawks 5K and Fun Run for Health & Wellness. The event was created in 2014 by the school's Physical Education Teacher, Mr. Luke Delaney, School Nurse, Kieran Mitchell, and CYO Cross-Country Coach, Chris Richey. Thirteen years later, the Hawks 5K goal, in conjunction with the St Louis PTO, remains to raise funds for academic enrichment and supplement student activities. Our secondary goal is to encourage a fitness activity together.
We hope you will join us for this event. Thank you for your support of our wonderful school!
Awards given for top male/female finishers, top faculty finisher and age group winners!
