Over 430 individuals registered for either the 1-mile Fun Run or the 5K race. Among them were representatives from 17 Catholic elementary schools, totaling 148 students, 55 Catholic high school students, and 40 Catholic school teachers.

A special thank you to Dr. Michael Spinelli, Run Director, the 5K Committee, and all those who contributed to the event's success. Your dedication ensured that the day served as a community celebration in support of Catholic education on Long Island, even in the rain! Thank you!
