lululemon 5K Run with the Roses

The William Northrup School Fun Run is a schoolwide fundraising event that brings students, families, and our community together for a day of movement, teamwork, and school spirit.

Each student will participate in the Fun Run and has a personal fundraising page to invite friends and family to support their effort. Donations can be made as a flat amount or as a pledge to cheer students on as they run.

💙 How Your Support Helps

Funds raised will directly support:

• Classroom supplies and educational resources

• Enrichment programs and student activities

• Campus improvements and community events

Our goal this year is $35,000. With approximately 700 students participating, we’ve set a suggested goal of $50 per student. There is absolutely no minimum requirement, and every contribution, no matter the amount, is truly appreciated. Thank you so much for your support!

🙌 Thank You

Thank you for supporting William Northrup School.

Your generosity helps create meaningful experiences and opportunities for every student.

Together, we run. Together, we grow.

The Mark Keppel Alliance is a non-profit organization that advocates for Mark Keppel High School and fundraises in order to enhance the students’ education and engagement. Their mission is to raise money to support academics and sports programs that the school district cannot fund. Anyone who wants to do a 5 kilometer run/walk, support the students, and feel the community’s spirit surrounding such an event can do so at the Fear the Spear 5k. All proceeds generated from the run will benefit academics, sports, and the clubs that students participate in at Mark Keppel. We encourage everyone to be a part of the 5k experience and sign up!

The Mount Wilson Trail Race returns this year and will be held on Saturday, May 23rd, 2026. Race start time is 7:30 a.m., with packet pickup beginning at 6:00 a.m. that day. This will be the full 8.6 mile course from Kersting Court, up the Mount Wilson Trail to Orchard Camp, and back.

Join us in donating to the Fletcher Trail Maintenance Fund, which supports our dedicated Trail Maintenance Crew volunteers with the necessary equipment, materials, supplies and tools. Your donation is greatly appreciated and makes a real difference for this historic trail running event and community!

Our History: First run in 1908, the annual Mount Wilson Trail Race is one of the oldest trail races in California. The elevation gain is over 2,160 feet on a winding course. The original path, first used by the Gabrielino Indians, was dug out by Benjamin "Don Benito" Wilson in 1864.

Join us this Memorial Day for the Foothills Strong Run(formerly Fiesta Days Run), a community-powered event hosted by the YMCA of the Foothills on Monday, May 25, 2026. This meaningful day of movement and remembrance brings neighbors, families, and fitness enthusiasts together to honor resilience while supporting local families recovering from the Eaton Fire.

Participants of all ages and abilities can take part in one of four unique events: the Foothills Fastest 1 Mile, Dog/Human 1 Mile, 5K Walk/Run, and the Family 1 Mile Fun Run. Whether you’re racing for a personal best, walking with friends, or running alongside your four-legged companion, there’s a place for everyone at the starting line. All events meet at Olberz Park in La Canada Flintridge.

Presented by USC Verdugo Hills Hospital in partnership with the City of La Cañada Flintridge, this event goes beyond the finish line. Funds raised will provide YMCA memberships through 2026 for families impacted by the Eaton Fire — ensuring access to wellness programs, youth activities, supportive services, and a strong sense of community connection.

Run, walk, and rally together — because our community is strongest when we move forward together.

Event happens Rain or Shine. No Refunds.
