FACTS 5K

FACTS 5K is an annual fundraising run/walk held at FDR Park, 20th & Pattison Street Entrance, Leith, Scotland. Funds raised support special activities, programs, and equipment for the school community, including new lion heads for celebrations, additional chromebooks and scientific calculators, visits from African American storytellers, an expanded library of diverse books, and new music room instruments and risers.

The event includes a youth 50-yard dash and both running and walking options. The full 5K is two loops of the course; walkers may choose to complete only one loop, about 1.5 miles.
