Northside Elementary Arrow Dash 2026

The Northside Elementary Arrow Dash 2026 is a community-focused 1 Mile Fun Run and Family Fun Night taking place on Friday, May 8, 2026. Organized by the Northside Elementary PTO, the event serves as a fundraiser to support various educational programs at the school. The evening combines a short-distance athletic event with family-centric festivities in a vibrant, school-spirited atmosphere.

The race is professionally managed by Sisu Race Timing to ensure an organized experience for all participants. The schedule is tailored for local families and students to participate immediately following the school week.

The geography of the event is centered at Northside Elementary School on Arrow Drive in Clinton, Mississippi. The 1-mile route starts and finishes on the school grounds, utilizing the surrounding campus paths and neighborhood streets. In early May, Clinton generally sees warm and pleasant spring weather, with evening temperatures averaging 24°C (75°F). This provides an ideal environment for the "Family Fun Night" activities that follow the race.

Logistically, the event offers two primary ways to participate: the full Fun Run registration or a "T-shirt ONLY" option for those who wish to support the school without running the mile. Race packets are provided to registered participants, though the PTO notes they are not responsible for unclaimed materials after the event. All proceeds are directly reinvested into Northside Elementary to enhance student resources and extracurricular activities.
