About the Ready, Set Soar 5k
This race is put on by an elementary school PTA in Saint Cloud, and the whole morning runs on school spirit. The course is chip timed and open to all paces. The crowd skews young, with students and their families making up most of the field, and the energy reflects that.
Age group awards go to the fastest runners by age and gender, so there is a competitive thread running underneath the family atmosphere. Proceeds go back to the school, supporting classroom resources and activities throughout the year.
