From the Organizer
Get inspired and join the Ladue Education Foundation & Alumni Association (LEF) at the 14th Annual 'Due Run 4 Education! The beloved tradition of the ’Due Run 4 Education continues this year with a twist: you can participate either in-person OR virtually!
In-Person
Join us on September 26 starting at 7:00 am (shotgun start at 8:30) am in McKenna Plaza at the Ladue Horton Watkins Stadium. All ages are invited to participate in either a 5K or a 1-mile fun run that will start and finish on the stadium track. The event will include a live DJ, snacks & refreshments, vendor booths, awards and prizes with a chance to check yourself out on the stadium's Jumbotron. The race is organized by Big River Running Company and will feature chip timing.
Virtual
You can run or walk at any location you choose, at any time during the week, September 26 - October 3! Go to the park with the family or run on your treadmill, whatever you prefer. Keep your desired pace and time yourself so you can post the results. And if it turns out to be a lazy day, you can sleep in and still feel good about donating!
Either way, you receive a T-shirt, and, most importantly, you support the LEF and its amazing grants and programs that provide academic and enrichment opportunities for Ladue Schools students and staff.
If you’ve never done an in-person or virtual 5K or 1-mile run, it’s a great, low-stress alternative that encourages fitness for the whole family!
