Heritage Classical Academy 5K

Lace up your running shoes for the inaugural Heritage Classical Academy 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run, set to take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in Ruston, LA. This event offers both a 5K for seasoned runners and a 1 Mile Fun Run (or walk) for all ages, making it a perfect opportunity for the entire community to get active and support a worthy cause. The race unfolds on a scenic, cross-country style course that is primarily grass, providing a refreshing change from typical road races and a chance to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

This exciting new event serves as a cornerstone fundraiser for Heritage Classical Academy's ambitious goal of expanding its Christ-centered education to become a full K-12 school, with proceeds directly benefiting the addition of 1st and 2nd grades for the 2026-2027 academic year. Participants will gather at The Gospel, located at 108 Sanctuary Road, Ruston, LA, for the start and finish of their chosen distance. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 67°F and lows around 45°F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable environment for hitting the trails. Join in this community-spirited run to contribute to the growth of Kingdom Education and experience a unique cross-country challenge.
