Big Marsh 5k and Fun Run

The Big Marsh 5K and Fun Run Race is an annual event open to participants of all ages and athletic abilities. Held in memory of Marshall Welch, the event supports the Southland Academy General Scholarship Fund. The race also promotes health, wellness, and community spirit. Participants have a chance to win cash prizes, and pre-registered runners receive a guaranteed T-shirt. After the race, Southland Academy hosts a family event with activities and affordable concessions. Donations are encouraged and will aid the scholarship program, supporting students' education.
