On Thursday and Friday, only middle and high school students will have the opportunity to run outside the school. The track for the Fun Run starts at the basketball court. From there, runners will go around the admin building, pass by the lunch area, and head down the long path. Next, they will turn into the Middle School/High School area, continue down to the back gate, and make their way to the Pre-K area. After rounding the tree, runners will head back to the basketball court to complete the route.
