Jog-a-thon

Wednesday, October 28 2026

The Jog-a-Thon is one of Ridgeline’s most-loved events and it's our second-largest fundraiser of the year! Students in grades 1-8 will run, jog, and walk on the Rexius Trail across from the school, while our kindergarteners will race around the enclosed south field loop. 

 

We need YOUR help to make this event a success! Volunteers are essential to keeping this event fun and safe for our students. Whether you can help with set-up and clean-up, or simply stay for the event, there’s a role for you!


Date/time:  Wednesday, October 28, 10 - 11 AM (volunteers needed as early as 8:30am for course set-up)
