The CVS Caremark Downtown 5k would like to celebrate
physical fitness among our student athletes by
extending an invitation to all schools to participate
in the CVS Caremark Downtown Middle School youth races
or High School Inspirational 3K by forming a School Team.
Since 1990 the youth races have been an exciting part of
the CVS Caremark Downtown 5k. There will be six separate
races for Middle Schools. All middle school races will
be 1500M (less than a mile) Middle schools are
encouraged to enter teams in the youth races.
The High School runners will run 3K.
All participating schools or track clubs that finish 25
participants on their school team, will be eligible for ten (10)
random drawings for a $500 grant! A total of $5000 will be awarded
for the physical education and/or track programs at their
respective schools. In addition, the young athletes who
participate in the youth races will receive a
medallion. All school runners will receive a t-shirt with the
official race logo, and a goody bag. Boys and girls can be
combined to make up a school team of 25 finishers. The top five (5)
winners in each Middle School Youth Race age category will
receive a trophy. Entry fees will be waived for all School
Teams and track clubs that enter online.
All races start on Francis Street near the State House.
This year the CVS Caremark Downtown 5k race will again host
the USA National 5k Championship.
This is a wonderful opportunity for young student
athletes to see and run with some of the best runners in the world.
The CVS Caremark Downtown 5k benefits the Rhode Island
Community in a number of ways. This event not only brings
world-class athletic competition to Rhode Island and promotes
health and fitness, but also, most importantly, raises
money for local nonprofit organizations.
Last year, the CVS Caremark Downtown 5k donated
$160,000 to local charities.
Requests to set up school teams can be made by team
captains by selecting the "Captains" option tab located above.
