Financially, the event will support the Ballston Spa Partnership for Innovation in Education Fund, a component fund of the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region.

This field of interest fund is used to support the various innovative and mission-related programs throughout the district that include: Sponsor-A-Scholar, Robotics, the Performing & Fine Arts, STEM enrichment initiatives, and the Clean Technologies & Sustainable Industries Early College High School (Clean Tech ECHS).

The Inaugural Scotties Stampede 5k was a huge success and we couldn’t have done it without the support of our school community, sponsors and prize sponsors.

We had 335 runners show up on race day, with the support of 40 volunteers, our local police, sheriff and emergency services. It takes a village to make events like these possible and we’re so proud that ours was there for the big day!

Check out the final race results here.

Social media posts #Scotties5k are here.

Thank you again to all of you who made the event possible and to all of you who participated!

We’ll see you next year!

We’re looking for reliable race day volunteers (Saturday, May 21, 2016) and volunteers to handle packet pick-up the Friday evening before the race (May 20, 2016).

Already have a full spring running schedule planned? That’s cool, because experienced runners also make great volunteers!
