Bozeman Schools Foundation to host
Ninth Annual
Santa Run
for
Education
DECEMBER 2, 2023
More than $5000 in prizes for runners, schools and teams! The Bozeman Schools Foundation will once again host its family-friendly 5K road race on the morning of December 2, 2023. The Santa Run for Education is the primary fundraiser for the Bozeman Schools Foundation, an independent nonprofit organization that works with local businesses, nonprofit organizations and community members to promote academic excellence, foster teaching innovation, recognize students of character and connect students in Bozeman Public Schools to the community in ways that matter. A celebration of the essential partnership between public schools and their community, the Santa Run for Education brings hundreds of people to the streets of Bozeman as the first official event of the annual Downtown Christmas Stroll. With prizes for serious and not-so-serious runners, the Santa Run is a great way to kick off the holiday season and show your support for public education. Thanks to strong support from local businesses this year, there will be more prizes awarded than ever:
Ç Race Champion: Bridger Orthopedic, is underwriting cash prizes which will be awarded to the top three overall male and female race finishers.
Ç Schools Champion: Bozeman’s Rib & Chop House, will be providing $1,000 to the parent associations at each of three schools with the greatest participation in the Santa Run, based on the percentage of total school enrollment.
Ç Team & Club Champions: The Neil Family, is providing $500 in prizes for the two BSD7 teams or clubs with the greatest number of participants.
Ç All participants have a chance to win assorted prizes for costume, spirit and “Tagging the Yeti” thanks to the investment advisors at Bozeman’s independent Charles Schwab Branch.
Racers, family and friends can warm up, visit race sponsor booths and enjoy hot chocolate inside the winter wonderland set up in the Willson Gym before, during and after the race. Doors open at 8:30 a.m., and the race starts at 9 a.m. at the corner of Babcock and Fifth. Packet pickup will be held at Stockman Bank on December 1.
