St. B's Black Fly 5K Run, Walk, Roll or Stroll

About the Event

Come be part of a fun and inclusive event — whether you want to run, walk, stroll, or roll — all while raising funds to support St. Bernard's School! This event welcomes everyone, from competitive runners chasing PRs to friends and families looking for a laid-back afternoon outdoors. Our goal is to bring our community together in a healthy, active way while supporting our mission of providing a quality, affordable education.

NEW this year — we’re excited to offer a 1K option (one loop on the trails at Dewey Mountain) just for students who want to join the fun but aren’t quite ready to tackle the full 5K!

Set against the beautiful backdrop of Dewey Mountain Recreation Center, participants will enjoy the fresh mountain air, scenic trails, and post-race festivities featuring great food and drinks.

We can't wait to see you there!
