We are excited to kick off the 12th Annual Hornet Hustle, our Julia Green Marathon!

Between Monday, March 16th, and Friday, April 24th, your child will work toward the exciting goal of running or walking 26.2 miles (or as many as possible) at school and at home.

On Friday, April 24th, at 5:30 pm, students and families will gather on campus to complete the final mile of the marathon in a road “race” along Vailwood Drive!

After the race, we will come together on the playground for Gather on the Green, which includes pre-ordered food and music. This event is a wonderful opportunity for the entire community.

The goal of the Hornet Hustle is to promote healthy exercise habits for strong muscles, encourage good sportsmanship, teach children to try their best, and most importantly, to HAVE FUN!

‍Running Logs
‍This year we are going fully digital for running logs! We will use our digital platform (Marathon Kids). Runners should enter these miles into the digital platform and cross them off the log.

By tracking miles in the digital running logs, students will earn colorful foot charms for each mile run. These will be given out during P.E. by Coach Norris and Coach Barnes. Students are on their honor to record each mile with integrity.

Important Note: Even though the Marathon Kids platform says 20 minutes of activity counts as a mile, we are not counting that for our event. We had a lot of confusion about that last year. We know we have an active community with many kids in sports/activities outside of school, but we are asking for kids to have their mileage completed outside of their normal daily activities.

Sponsor a Student
‍Hornet Hustle is a great fundraiser for our Julia Green PTO. Please help your child find “sponsors” for their running! This can be family members, neighbors, co-workers, etc. It may be a grandmother who says, “I’ll donate $1 for every mile you run!”We are encouraging donations to be made online this year, but we will also accept cash or checks, dropped off at the main office in a labeled bag. Sponsor a child HERE!

‍Corporate Sponsorships
‍Know a business interested in making a donation? We are still looking for corporate donations to help support the event. Corporate sponsors can donate HERE!
