Laps for Learning is Tomorrow & Weekly Update

September 22, 2017


Laps for Learning is Tomorrow!


We can’t wait to see you tomorrow at our Laps for Learning event! Please plan to arrive at 7:30 so there will be ample time for all of our runners to check in by grade level and receive their bib at the registration tables. Please allow ample time for parking and walking to the school because the school parking lots and the roads immediately in front of the school will not be available for parking. Please use Old Creek Drive, Pickett Rd, Nutwood Way, and other surrounding streets. We ask that families needing to make a quick getaway from the event due to other commitments that morning please park on the outskirts of the race so that they are not blocked in by the participants and will limit any possible congestion.


We are looking forward to a wonderful morning with the Olde Creek community!
