Join us for the first annual 5K and Community Health Fair Event, which will bring together the Burton Academy community of families and alumni, our surrounding neighbors & community, our church families and of course… friends of Burton! Kicking off with an 8 am 5K race benefiting the Rick Murray Athletic Scholarship Fund and the BAA Athletic Department, runners will enjoy an RFID race tracking experience along with a swag bag (race t-shirt included)!

5K. Join the Fun!
Open to all ages, the first annual Burton 5K will serve as a great opportunity to connect with the community while helping promote a healthy lifestyle and raising funds for a worthy cause! In fact, funds raised benefit the Rick Murray Athletic Scholarship Fund and the BAA Athletic Department.
Want to see how you stack up against other runners? Now is your chance! And of course, you’ll enjoy a runner’s swag bag with an event t-shirt and other fun swag!
With a start/finish line on Burton’s campus, the 5K route will utilize surrounding roadways as permitted through the city of Arlington, facilitated by our support team and contracted raceway management vendor.
Food & Fun Fair!
From bounce houses to delicious food options, you’ll certainly enjoy more than just running for a cause and learning about healthy living! The food and fun fair will run during the health fair (9 am to Noon), and all register 5K runners will enjoy some starter tickets to the fair in their runner swag bag!
