About Our Race...

The Viking Victory Run is a 5K race, and 1 mile Kids Fun Run, that benefits the North Canton Elementary School PTO and PTA organizations. Our goal is to promote fitness in our students and their families. All proceeds from our race will be split evenly amongst the four elementary school PTO/PTA groups, to help fund programs such as field trips, enrichment classes, smart boards, and much more!

This year's race will be held on Sunday, April 22, 2012 at North Canton Memorial Stadium. The races will start on 7th Street, and finish on the track at North Canton Memorial Stadium. We hope to pack the stands with a cheering crowd, to urge our runners to the finish line!

The Kids Fun Run will feature a raffle for the runners. For every $10 raised by the child, they will earn a ticket for one of our many prizes. The more you raise, the more chances you have to win! The Kids Fun Run kicks off at 2:00 PM.

The 5K Race will be a part of the Subway Challenge Series, with trophies given out to top finishers in several age categories. The 5K winds through the neighborhoods around the school, and will have an awesome finish line on the track! Because we are using the track, there are NO strollers or pets allowed in either the race or the Fun Run. The 5K kicks off at 3:00 PM, with awards to follow at 4:00 PM.

All runners, in both the Kids Fun Run and 5K, will receive a t-shirt!
