Please join us for the inaugural Carroll High School Alumni Association: The Charge on Hunger 5K and Family Fun Run (one mile). This year, the race will raise funds for CHSAA and Boomerang Backpacks, an all-volunteer organization that serves NACS families with food assistance every week during the school year. We are thrilled to host this 5K on the beautiful Carroll High School campus, with support from the Northwest Fire District, Allen County Sheriff's Department, and other local sponsors.
On Saturday, September 12th, the Family Fun Run will kick off at 9:30am with a one mile race around the CHS track. This is a race for all ages, strollers and wheelchairs are welcome! The 5k will start promptly at 10:30am with a finish line on the CHS track, we invite families to cheer on your runner from the stands as they appear on the jumbotron in the final stretch!
Be sure to stick around and visit the food trucks and local vendors before you exit. The race will be an exciting community event and we look forward to seeing you, rain or shine!
