Beaumont Spirit Run Saturday Morning

The 2nd Annual Spirit Run to benefit Beaumont schools is scheduled Saturday, Sept. 10, in Stewart Park.

Last year's inaugural Spirit Run raised more than $11,000 in supplemental funding for education programs at six elementary schools, two middle schools, and the high school, according to organizers.

This year organizers hope for more than 500 participants, as well as volunteers, vendors and sponsors.

The 1k is for children 12 and under, and registration is $10.

The 5k is open to runners, walkers, and participants with strollers, and registration is $30.

The 10k is billed as competitive and registration is $30.
