ABOUT
The 3rd annual running of The Boo! On Broad will be Saturday October 26th, 2024!
This race is the beginning of the excitement leading into the mayhem that happens on Broad Street every Halloween. All participants are encouraged to dress up, and prizes will be given out for the best costumes.
The 1K Fun Run starts 8:00am, and the 5K begins at 8:30am. Both races start on Broad Street and finish in front of the Statham Elementary School Gym.
VISION
Our vision is to create a vibrant, active community where individuals of all ages and abilities come together to celebrate fitness, education, and local support. Through the Boo! on Broad 5K, we aim to inspire a lifelong passion for running and healthy living, fostering a spirit of inclusivity and generosity. We envision a future where our race not only promotes physical activity but also champions literacy and youth development, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive regardless of financial means.
MISSION
The Boo! on Broad 5K is dedicated to:
-
Encouraging community engagement and physical activity for all age groups and fitness levels.
-
Building a strong, recognizable brand that embodies our commitment to health, education, and local support.
-
Supporting local non-profit organizations, specifically those enhancing youth engagement in running and literacy programs at Statham Elementary School and Bear Creek Middle School.
-
Ensuring that every child has access to healthy activities and educational opportunities, regardless of their financial situation.
OUR IMPACT
Proceeds from both runs will benefit the SES and Bear Creek Middle School Running Clubs. The running club at SES is for 4th and 5th graders and the earnings will go to much needed running clothes and apparel for the students. The running club at BCMS includes 6th, 7th and 8th graders. They are also in need of clothes and apparel as well as track and field equipment. Both clubs promote a healthy lifestyle and a source of self-confidence and accomplishment for the students.
In 2023, both schools received a check for $2,800!
