5k 2024

The 19th Annual Wolftrap 5k & Fun Run is Sunday, April 21, 2024. Early registration is now open - sign up and get a discount! Register here. Early registration will go until March 24th and registration cost will increase.

If you are new to Wolftrap, the Wolftrap 5k & Fun Run is one of our biggest events and fundraisers. All proceeds support the PTA in providing amazing programs and support to our school.

The 5k is not just about the run, it's about community! We have a number of activities on race day to include food sales, cake walk, large raffle, DJ, and a Slime your Faculty event. To find out more information on the events and timing of these events check out our 5k website.

slime

To encourage registration, five of our Wolftrap staff have volunteered to be slimed! A slime meter will be put up at school for our students to monitor progress. Once a registration level is hit, that faculty member will be slimed at our 5k event. Students can enter the raffle to win that opportunity! If we hit 500 registrants, we will slime Dr. Grove!

Mark your calendars and register today!
