Wow! The Great Race for Education - Mt. Olympus Edition was a BLAST on Friday. Just to prove it, here are some of the photos taken that day to remember that we raised $70,000 to help make positive, permanent change in the lives of CEI students.

Thank you! Thank you! We could not have done it without the support of volunteers, community members, all of the incredible runners and owners, sponsors, and people who just did what they did to MAKE IT HAPPEN!

It's still too early for us to talk about next year's event on July 17, 2026, but we'll plan for a good time then, too!

Again, THANK YOU!!!
