Run For Ross

Ross School is thrilled to present its first annual Run for Ross 5K run/walk on Sunday, October 21 at 10 a.m.

Ross School is thrilled to present its first annual Run for Ross 5K run/walk on Sunday, October 21 at 10am. Race day registration will be from 8:30–9:45am. The flat course will begin and end at East Hampton's popular Main Beach and run along a prime oceanfront and hedge-lined estate section of East Hampton. The race will be professionally timed; all registered runners will receive state-of-the-art disposable chips attached to participants’ bibs to record timing results.

Prior to the race, adults and children are invited to take part in a favorite Ross School wellness tradition—Tai Chi—that will occur on the beach during registration. Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese form of exercise that focuses on balance, strength, and flexibility.

ENTRY FEES (Non-Refundable)
Pre-Registration  $20
Day of Race  $25
Students  $10
Children 10 & Under  FREE
Children 10 and under are encouraged to bring a canned good food donation for the East Hampton food pantry in lieu of an entry fee.
