On Sunday morning, October 7, 2018, Hebrew Academy will host its third annual 5K Fun Run/Walk in Côte Saint-Luc – a family-friendly event for members of the school community of all ages celebrating school pride and the start of a new academic year.

About 350 people attended last year’s event – including Côte Saint-Luc Mayor Mitchell Brownstein – which featured upbeat music, healthy snacks, an exciting raffle draw, and warm-up and cool-down exercises led by a certified personal fitness trainer.

The 5K run/walk will begin outside the school on Kellert Avenue, circle through Pierre Elliott Trudeau Park, continue along Mackle Road and loop around Hudson back onto Mackle. As in past years, families with young children will have the option of participating in a 1K run through the park and back along Kellert. The event  will culminate with fun activities in the school playground for children of all ages.

“The enthusiasm in past years was contagious,” said Hebrew Academy Executive Director Linda Lehrer.  “It was so heartwarming to be able to reunite with all members of our Hebrew Academy family and to kick off the new school year with such a fun, spirited activity. I can’t wait until the next Fun Run!”

The event will proceed rain or shine.
