Roland Park Country School Red Hot Run 5K and Family Fun Walk

RED HOT RUN

We invite everyone to join us for the 8th annual Red Hot Run 5K and Family Fun Walk. Grab your family, co-workers, neighbors and friends for this exciting community event. Don’t miss out! Be sure to stay for the post-race Family Fun Fest with awards, games, massages, moon bounce, refreshments, snacks, face painting and a photo booth. Most free of charge! Proceeds from the Red Hot Run support The Fund for Roland Park Country School. The money raised will immediately be put to work enhancing programs, supporting faculty, and giving our students the tools they need to take risks and dream big.
