Chavez Cheetah Chase
May 21, 2026
Race Day Information

Packet pick up will be held FRIDAY from 5-7 in the gymnasium. You can also come Saturday morning starting at 8am. Please take a look at the schedule below outlining Saturday's festivities. 

Please keep in mind that parking will be limited as the front parking lot will be closed for the safety of our participants so we encourage you to walk or ride bikes, if possible. Make sure to plan accordingly.

Strollers are welcome but we ask that families with strollers line up near the back of the pack. Unfortunately, our canine friends are not allowed to join in this fun event, as dogs are not permitted on school grounds however service dogs are always okay :) 

As you are out on the course, please note that there are orange cones and arrows placed along the route. GREEN arrows are for 1 mile participants to follow and BLUE arrows are for 5k participants. There will be a water station halfway through the 5k route at Glacier Crossing Park. Please respect the neighborhood lawns and remain on the sidewalk throughout the whole course. Be cautious at each intersection and always watch for traffic!

As you finish your run/walk, we want you to stay and mingle with other families and we encourage you to line up near the finish line to cheer on other participants as they finish strong! To maintain the community-centered focus, we want everyone to leave happy and proud of their accomplishments of finishing the fun run. We will not be hosting a raffle this year, but have decided to distribute finisher ribbons to all children.

8:00-8:50 Packet Pick-up and Registration

Packet Pick-up will be located in front of the main doors at the school. Race day registration will be available although we have VERY few extra shirts this year, so you may not be guaranteed a shirt. 

Parking is also very limited on race day. The front parking lot will be closed off for the safety of our participants; however the back staff parking lot will be available. We are encouraging families who live close to Chavez to walk, ride bikes, or carpool with others.

8:50    5k participants will gather in the bus lane to start

9:00    5k Fun Run will start

Please be aware that we will have wave starts for both the 5k and 1-mile participants. Because all participants must remain on the sidewalks for the duration of the course, we are asking that those who plan on walking or who have strollers line up at the back. Remember that this is a fun run and the races will NOT be timed.

9:05    One-mile participants will gather in the bus lane to start

9:10    One-mile run/walk will start

Again, for the safety of our participants everyone will remain on the sidewalks along the entire of length of this route. If you plan on walking or have strollers, we ask that you kindly line up toward the back of the group. We will be starting in waves.

10:00-11:00 Race Celebrations

Once you are done with the race, we encourage you to enjoy your post race snacks and stay to enjoy music and mingle with other families. There will be water and fruit provided at the finish line for all participants. Festivities are expected to wrap up around 11:00.

We are hoping for great weather; however the Cheetah Chase will take place rain or shine! In the case of severe weather, the run will be cancelled for the safety of our participants. We will call the race by 8:00 and will post it here on our website.

We hope you are as excited as we are. See you Saturday!
