What Parent Leaders Are Saying

"They had a tunnel for the students to run under, a water station, and music. They truly thought of everything."

The fun run was so smooth with very little work for the teaching staff. I didn't have any students cry, which is hard to do in kinder. It was the perfect amount of time. They ran for about thirty minutes. Our school did great in the fundraiser, and I am so excited about what we will be able to purchase.

"The culminating Fun Run event was incredibly fun, and a true celebration of fitness and teamwork."

The Apex Fun Run program was a success for our school community. We were thrilled not only with the fundraising results, which significantly exceeded our previous efforts, but also with the invaluable leadership program. The team were high-energy, positive role models who genuinely connected with our students, delivering daily character lessons that resonated deeply.

"Dear Apex, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways… "

The sheer amount of happy, excited faces shouting out the lessons they learned all week throughout the day made every decision worthwhile. We could not have asked for a better program, and we cannot wait to partner up again next year.

"Bringing programs like Apex to our school is a great way to help with chronic absenteeism because it gets kids excited about coming to school."

This was the first year our school has done Apex and our kids loved it. We held our fundraiser two weeks before state testing because we wanted our students to use the leadership skills learned through the daily POWER lessons on their test. We had a rally right before the Fun Run and the Apex lead spoke at it and got the kids pumped up for both testing and the run.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know planning a fundraiser comes with questions — here are clear, simple answers to help you feel confident.

How does an Apex Fun Run work?

Students collect pledges online for the laps they'll run, then run the course on event day while our team runs the music, the energy, and the logistics. 

What happens if it rains on event day?

Your local team works out a backup plan with you before event day rather than scrambling on it. If weather is a regular problem for your campus, Glow Run is the same program run indoors, so rain never enters the picture.

How much space do we need for a Fun Run?

A standard field, blacktop, or track works. Your local team walks your space with you ahead of time and designs the course around what you actually have, so you're not trying to force your campus into a fixed template.

Do parents come to watch?

Most schools invite them, and it's usually one of the best-attended days of the year. Your local team will help you plan for spectators, including where families stand and how to keep the course clear.

What do students get for participating?

Every student earns daily leadership wristbands and joins the classroom awards, regardless of what they raise. Students who collect pledges can also earn individual thank-you gifts. Our team orders, sorts, and delivers all of it, so your school never buys or hands out a single prize.
