Lester Running of the Leopards

Our family-friendly 1 mile run/walk and 5k race event is one of two flagship fundraising initiatives for the Lester PTA. Over 35% of our programming budget is generated by the Fun Run and all of its surrounding activities (Experiences, Raffles, Silent Auctions & More)!

The goal for this year’s Fun Run is to raise $25,000 – which is reinvested into the PTA's programs and activities that benefit all Lester students!  

Please Note:  If you want to run both the 1mile and the 5K, you must register for each race individually.  You will receive a separate timing bib for each race.    NEW this year!  A new 100% optional opportunity for kids to be an individual FUNdraiser. This means they can seek additional donations or pledges to the PTA from extended family members, neighbors, friends and other loved ones for their efforts in the Fun Run. There is a page within the race registration process where this can be setup to create a personalized page to facilitate personal FUNdraiser efforts in a turnkey way.  If you are not interested in doing this, simply scroll down to press "Continue" at the bottom of that page within the race setup.  Again this is completely optional, and individual FUNdraiser donations will not be made public.  Any Fun Run questions - please contact the event co-chairs.  Thank you for your support!  See you on Sept. 24th!  Katie Frick (630-291-7395) & Julia Mazurek (312-622-3034)
