Race 2 the Point is a family-friendly event organized by the Scarborough Primary School PTA that brings together students, families, local businesses, and community members for a day of fun, fitness, and fundraising. The event features a 5K run and walk, a ½ Mile Dash for children ages 12 and under, and a Kids’ Fun Run for our youngest athletes. Attendees will also enjoy visiting sponsors at the Race Expo and exploring activities in the Kids’ Fun Zone. All proceeds from Race 2 the Point directly benefit Scarborough’s primary schools, funding initiatives like new technology, classroom materials, field trips, and resources to support our dedicated teachers and staff.
