The PTAs of Brooklyn’s elementary schools are coming together to sponsor the second annual 5-kilometer race/walk/stroll/toddle in Prospect Park.

Last year’s inaugural race brought out hundreds of runners, parents, students and school track teams.

  • (New this year) Participants can choose to raise money in excess of their fee, bringing checks from sponsors to race-day registration. [Payable to the 501(c)3 group: 'Friends of BNS/BCS']
  • Fee: $15 for individual racers, $25 for a family.
  • (New this year) Post-race brunch: $8 for adults, $4 for kids –  eggs, pancakes, fruit, coffee, tea,
    juice, bagels, muffins.
  • (New this year) T-shirts! There will be prizes, medals - the works.
  • After the event there will be parent organizations, tabling, face painting, music, and other community building and information sharing activities.

Want to get involved? Or your PTA involved?

All you need to do is sign on and recruit 20 participants to share in the proceeds.
The profit will be divided as follows:

  • 50% of total will be divided evenly among all participating schools (those who recruited 20 or more participants),
  • 50% of the total will divided among schools based on number of students in the school
  • If you, your school, or your PTA might be interested, you can contact the organizers at contact@brooklynpta.org or PTArunfortheschools@gmail.com.
