WHO WE ARE
LaFayette Rambler Running, a proud tradition established in 1960. Both the Lafayette Track & Field and Cross Country teams have been proudly representing the community of Lafayette and Walker County for many years and are excited to get the community involved in an activity we love, running. We are hoping by hosting our very own 5k Race we can give back to the community, emboldening the support of the sport of running, being healthy and active, and family & community togetherness. Along with giving back to the community, Lafayette Rambler Running is hoping to use the resources gained from this 5k to help bring our current programs up to date and into the future. We also hope that with these resources we can continue as a program to make the community proud as well as begin to build a community of running that will attract new athletes and spectator to the amazing sport of running.
100% of the 1st Annual Freedom Fests Run proceeds will go to the improvement of the Lafayette Rambler Track & Field and Cross Country programs. Hopefully in the future based upon the success of this event, funds will also be funneled into the Lafayette High feeder middles schools and their Track & Field and Cross Country programs as to help build the future of our programs.
The funds raised will go to:
Expenses to host the Freedom Fest 5k/1-Mile Fun Run (Timing Co., Shirts, Awards, etc…)
Help complete the construction of a Cross Country Course on the property of Lafayette High School
which will be accessible to the community.
Purchase and update of the Track & Field facilities including the replacement of outdated
equipment. (ie. High Jump Mat, Complete Set of Hurdles, etc…)
Full set of matching uniforms for Track & Field teams.
Help forming and funding Cross Country Programs at Lafayette and Saddle Ridge Middle.
Other areas of need to improve the Lafayette Rambler Track & Field and Cross Country programs.
