Welcome to our 5th Annual Band on the Run! We are raising funds to help support the wonderful students in Clarkston’s band and orchestra programs. This 5k is an easy and fun way to help!
This year there will be two ways to enjoy the event!
Our in-person Run/Walk consists of a 5k that will take place on Sunday, September 7th at Clarkston High School, Clarkston MI. In-person registration and check-in will begin at 8:00 and the race will start at 9:00. This will be a timed race event. The cost will be $40.00 if registered by August 8th and it will include a bib, shirt and medal. Must register by August 8th to receive a shirt and medal on race day. After August 8th the registration fee will increase to $45.00 to cover shipping fees for the shirt and medal after the race.
