Signing up early not only saves money—it also helps guarantee your race t-shirt size while supplies last.
Every registration directly benefits Klein ISD students. The Foundation awards grants twice a year, with educators eligible for up to $5,000 individually, teams up to $7,500, multi-campus projects up to $15,000, and principals able to apply for Lead the Spark grants up to $25,000. Those funds turn into hands-on learning tools, enrichment programs, and creative projects that might not otherwise happen.
The Klein ISD Education Foundation has been serving the district since 2000 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit led by community volunteers and local business leaders. And this race? It’s one of the ways the community shows up for its schools.
Whether you’re chasing a PR, walking with friends, or cheering on your elementary runner, this is a morning that feels very Klein—neighbors supporting neighbors, and every step helping local classrooms.
