Each year we invite the wider community to experience our beautiful campus of forests, fields, and farm through our 5K race to the Farm (and Back). This joyful community event brings together runners, families, neighbors, and friends for a race through our grounds, followed by a lively finish-line celebration for the whole family with music, food, games and prizes.

Proceeds from the event support theOtto Specht School Tuition Assistance Fund, helping ensure that more students can access the opportunities and beautiful learning environment our school provides.
