The online registration for the Matanzas 5K is up and “running”! The race is planned for January 22, 2022.
ACRR uses 100% of the proceeds from the Matanzas 5K to support St. Johns County high schools, middle schools and the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. ACRR has donated more than $300,000 to youth running programs!
This event is open to SMS runners, their families and the school community – everyone can register for this event! The bigger the race registration, the more money we can distribute!
Please go to ACRR and the Matanzas site for more information! http://www.matanzas5k.com/
This is a wonderful opportunity for runners to not only earn outside funding for their school but also earn community service hours from ACRR, 501(c)(3) organization if they volunteer.
Enjoy this great running weather!
