School Participation Competition

The 2018 School Participation Competition is generously supported by The Petkauskas Foundation.

As part of the Short Pump Mile, cash awards are given to area schools to help with their Physical Education programs, and each year, the competition is fierce! Your school can win based on participation, and the following awards will be given this year:

  • The Top 5 schools who have the largest number of runners in the One Mile Race will be awarded prizes:
    • 1st - $600
    • 2nd - $500
    • 3rd - $400
    • 4th - $300
    • 5th - $200
  • Any school not in the Top 5 with at least 25 participants will win $100.
  • The school (with at least 15 runners this year) with the highest percentage increase in participants over last year will win $250.

To help win these prizes, make sure you provide the name of your runner’s school when registering!
