Frassati 5K 2020 Event Details:
NEW VIRTUAL Frassati 5K and Kids Fun Run
Run for Kids and Education!
Join us and help raise funds for Frassati Catholic Academy while promoting the importance of physical activity and community in White Bear Lake.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Frassati Catholic Academy has decided to conduct its 2020 5K event virtually. The decision was guided by public officials, school and church leadership for the health and safety of our runners, volunteers, spectators, families and the community at large.
Virtual Event Dates: Thursday, October 8 – Sunday, October 11 (Choose the day you run!)
Packet pick-up will be open:
- Wednesday, Oct. 7, 8am-4:30pm
- School families will have packets sent home from school
On Friday, Oct. 9, Kids are encouraged to wear their race shirts to school on Friday! There will be a race “starting line” to kick off the fun at the doors as they exit school.
Race Options: 5K and Kids Fun Run
The USATF certified 5K race course will be marked and left open for teams to run on their own from Thursday, October 8 – Saturday, October 11. Allow time for your team to get together to run on the course, a trail or track! Please be respectful of neighborhood homes, traffic and others when running in public spaces. Have fun! Time yourself, record your run on video, take pictures, go live on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube and tag Frassati!
