Troy High Orchestra Hosts 9th Annual 5K Fundraiser

RUNNERS: On Your Mark, Get Set … Make Music!

Lace up your running and walking shoes for the 9th Annual Troy High School Orchestra 5K Run/Walk Fundraiser, which will be held at Boulan Park (1898 Boulan Park Dr, Troy, MI) on Sunday, October 6. Come support the musical endeavors of our award-winning orchestras, directed by our nationally acclaimed conductor, Director of Troy High Orchestras Alan MacNair.

Enjoy bagels, coffee, and hot chocolate while the Troy High Country Fiddlers provide pre-race entertainment. The USATF Certified 5K Route will take runners through Boulan Park and surrounding neighborhoods. Cost is $25 and includes a commemorative t-shirt and post run refreshments. Race day registration opens at 8:30am, costing $30. Complementary Fun Run for children 12 and under starts at 9:50am, followed by the 5K at 10am. Medals will be awarded to top three runners by age and gender categories.

All proceeds will support the operating expenses of our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the Orchestra Association of Troy High (OATH). With approximately 270 students in our program this year, it is our largest group of young musicians.

According to Director MacNair: “By hosting this 5K, the Troy High Orchestra Program is providing an opportunity for the Troy community to come together and support our award-winning orchestra students. We are also giving the students and the extended orchestra family a chance to help fund scholarships, trips, musical equipment and awards that support our program. Thanks to all who participate either as runners, volunteers, or cheerleaders!”
