About PVSchools Community 5K Fun Run/Walk

The Annual PV Schools Community 5K Fun Run will be held on January 31, 2026 at Horizon High School. Our goal is to raise awareness and encourage district employees, their families, and the community they serve, to live a healthy, active lifestyle. *You must be at the event to receive your t-shirt*

Join us in making the 16th year the best year yet!

PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHOOSE A SCHOOL/SITE WHEN YOU REGISTER.  EACH RACE PARTICIPANT NEEDS TO BE ASSIGNED TO A SCHOOL/SITE SO THAT LOCATION HAS A CHANCE TO WIN!!

NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED. Runners/walkers will not be allowed to start more than 5 minutes past the start time of 9:15 for safety and contractual reasons, so please be on time as we want you to participate!

T-shirts will be provided the day of the event to our registered participants in sizes S to XXL as well as a limited number of youth sizes. Please be certain to indicate your T-shirt size on your registration form, and register by January 17th, 2025 to guarantee a race t-shirt. *You must attend the event to receive your t-shirt*

Water and healthy snacks will be available before and after the race. 

This event is chip-timed by Race Timers and results will be posted on PVUSD's website.
