Held in the heart of summer, this event brings together students, families, and local runners for a fun, high-energy race experience that celebrates fitness, school spirit, and community support.
The 5K course offers a balanced challenge—approachable for beginners while still giving experienced runners the chance to push the pace. With a welcoming atmosphere and enthusiastic support along the course, the Bengal Classic is as much about the experience as it is the finish line.

Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 overall Male and Female along with Top Mom, Dad, and Teachers!
