Lost in the Woods 5k (for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital)

Just in time for Christmas, this thrilling two-loop course invites runners and walkers alike to wind through campus and the woods behind Peninsula Catholic High School, all decked out in Christmas lights and full of holiday cheer. Best of all, this race raises thousands of dollars for charity.  

But which charity? A number of teams will be competing for a grand prize: the right to choose which charity will receive 50% of the grand prize. No matter what, the other 50% prize (and donations) will go straight to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. You don't have to be a part of a team to race, walk, or donate. We encourage participants of every skill level to come out and participate, build community, and make a positive impact! 

The race is hosted PCYT, a club with a mission to teach teenagers that community service and acts of kindness can be fun. To see examples of their good work like helping the police clean up a beach, packing lunches to feed the homeless, or donating a car to refugees, check out their YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@peninsulacatholicyoutube
