Race Course: 10k: Oak Hill Road to El Nido Ranch Road, around the Lafayette Reservoir and back. 5k or 2 mile DO NOT go around the Lafayette Reservoir.

 

Reservoir Challenge – Virtual Race: Back by popular demand, from its introduction last year, you can now register for the Reservoir Challenge – the virtual race which “runs” around the 2.7-mile paved trail of the Lafayette Reservoir October 12-21. Please note, the Reservoir Challenge is not an option on Sunday, October 22 as the Reservoir will be closed for the 10K runners. The Reservoir Challenge is great opportunity to safely walk or run the Reservoir on your own, perhaps beating your time from last year.

 

Ways to Support:

  • Register your whole family! There are options if there are runners, walkers, and those who are busy on Oct 22nd!
  • Sponsor one of our teachers or staff (link here)!  What if I don’t know if they are available that day or even if they like running?  Well walking is totally acceptable, and even if they can’t go, they will still know that someone in the LES community sponsored them.
  • Register the rest of your scout troop or sports team and walk together as a Group!  Groups get a discount when registering together.  Contact the Lafayette Chamber with group details to get the discount (email:  sara@lafayettechamber.org)
  • Encourage your family, neighbors and friends who may not have students in our district to sign up, and complete the 2 mile Run/Walk for Fun together!
