Join Us for the 15th Annual St. B's Fun Run

We can't wait for you to join us for the 15th Annual Fun Run on Saturday, October 17, 2026! This annual event is fun for all, even if running isn't your thing! We will kick off with bib pickup and race-day registration opening at 7:30 A.M. Races will begin at 9:00 A.M., with a Tot Trot for the littles, followed by multiple heats of our student, parent, staff, and alumni one-mile race. Post-race, all runners will enjoy raffle drawings, snacks, and a dance party. Our awards ceremony will begin around 9:45 A.M.

Shirts are available through the registration site, even if you’re not participating in the race. Register by September 27 to guarantee your preferred size. After the deadline, shirt and size availability cannot be guaranteed.

We’re also looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make the event a success. Interested in lending a hand? Sign up HERE.
