Grace Race 10K, 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run
Lace up your shoes, grab your family and friends, and get ready to kick off the race season with the Grace Race! Whether you're a serious runner chasing a new personal best, a casual walker enjoying a morning with friends, or simply looking for a fun family outing, there is a place for everyone at the Grace Race!
Choose your challenge with the 10K, 5K, or 1-Mile Fun Run—then stick around because the fun doesn't stop when you cross the finish line! This exciting school and community event is all about fitness, family, fellowship, and FUN, with activities for kids, great food, friendly competition, and plenty of opportunities to cheer each other on.
Proceeds from the Grace Race will benefit Grace Christian School, making every step you take a step toward supporting our students and school community.
Packet pick-up will be from 3:00–5:30 p.m. on Friday, October 9, in the school gym. This will also be the staging area for the race. The gym area is off of Calais Circle/Versailles Blvd., one block past the school and to the right. Registration on race day will begin at 6:30 a.m. and stop at 7:30 a.m.
And when you're finished running—or if running isn't your thing—the fun continues inside the gym! Kids of all ages can enjoy our Grace Race Carnival from 8:30–10:30 a.m., with games, activities, and fun for the whole family. Grab some delicious Jambalaya from the concessions, cheer on the runners, and enjoy the excitement of race day!
The Grace Race will begin at 8am for the 10K and 5K, which features a flat course through Charles Park and along Versailles, making it a great route for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. GCS reserves the right to make changes to the route. The 1-Mile Fun Run will follow a shorter portion of this route.
Awards will be given to the top 3 finishers in each age group, male and female. Official race timing with a chip system will be provided by Greg Daniels. Results will be posted on race day immediately following the race.
Come for the race. Stay for the fun. Leave with great memories!
Run. Walk. Cheer. Eat. Play. Support Grace Christian School!
