WE ARE ROADRUNNER STRONG!
We need your help to raise $25,000!
The Runathon is Marshall Road’s largest and most popular fundraising event. While this year won’t look like previous years with parents and teachers cheering for our children as they run/walk around the school track, the PTA is thrilled to continue this event! Our 10th Annual Runathon has a new virtual look that provides students the opportunity to run/walk in their own neighborhoods with their families throughout the week.
Funds raised through the Runathon support student technology, S.T.E.M, cultural arts activities, field trips, classroom technology, teacher professional development, support for families in need, and maintenance of our Runathon track!
The Runathon is This Week - May 10 - 16!
If 250 students raised $10 each, we’d raise $2500…
If 400 students raised $10 each, we’d raise $4000… and so on!
Together we can do this!
