Come celebrate 10 years of CORE Community School and support our mission to prioritize the human elements of education. At CORE, we serve students in grades 4-12 with diverse learning/social-emotional needs, and we believe that "School Should Make You Smile!" The Root & Rise 3-Mile Trail Race kicks off the Root & Rise WellFest on the beautiful Cherokee Outdoor YMCA property. The race begins at 8:00am, with the WellFest kicking off at 10:00am. All proceeds will support CORE Community School and its mission to empower students through connection, kindness & understanding. This family-friendly event will feature fun for the whole family, including a 1-Mile Kids Fun Run! Start your day by running through the beautiful trails of the Cherokee Outdoor YMCA and stick around for food trucks, live music, vendors, workshops, guest speakers, and more at our Root & Rise WellFest from 10am-2pm.

Join us for the 29th Annual Woodstock Freedom Run on July 4th in Downtown Woodstock! We have a new course and gathering area for the race. On race day we will gather at the Arts Green Space on Market Street. The start/finish line will be on Market Street in front of the Stage at the Green Space.

The BIG news this year is that we have added a 10K to the day's activities!!! No need to drive anywhere else if you are wanting to run a fast 10K race on our national holiday, and unlike the other 10K options around the state, we have a great parade afterwards!
