Registration opens at 8:00 a.m.

The District Dash 5K Fun Run & Walk has been a great fundraiser for the Fall Mountain Educational Endowment Association (FMEEA) and was a great success in 2023. The board is excited to bring it back in 2024. Through FMEEA grants, the money goes directly back into the Fall Mountain Regional School District. Grant recipients have enriched the lives of students in the district by going on field trips, seeing plays and cultural shows, bringing hands-on learning into the classroom, and building the skills students need to become positive, active community members!
