Vikings on the Run 5k is a community fundraising event hosted by the Lakewood High School Student Council. The goal is to create an event that draws in families from the community and helps support projects and activities as a Student Council. The money raised from the 5K will be used to help fund future events such as pep assemblies, homecoming events, host blood drives, teacher appreciation, student recognition and many other events that help promote school pride! This is a fun run for all ages and it is not an official timed event. T-shirts are included with the registration fee, but must be ordered by July 25th to guarantee your shirt on race day. T-shirts for those who register after July 25th will be avaliable after the race at the LHS office. If you are interested in sponsoring the event, please reach out to the contact information.
