With the extended closure of Chesterfield County Public Schools and with concern for the health of our participants, the 2020 Gator 5k and Fun Run has been cancelled.
Swift Creek Elementary will host the ninth annual Great Gator 5k and Kid's Fun Run on Saturday, April 18, 2020. The course will traverse the roads and pathways of Brandermill, beginning and ending at the Swift Creek Elementary School campus. This event will focus on celebrating healthy living as a community while benefiting SCES’ students.
The Great Gator 5K is funded by sponsor donations and runner entry fees. All profits will fund PTA STEAM initiatives that will be used directly in classroom learning.
Thank you for supporting our school and our students by joining us for this wonderful family event!
