Another OktobeRun Success!
Thanks to 1,125 runners and walkers, a small army of volunteers, our City of Redwood City partners, and many generous sponsors, our second annual OktobeRun 5 k and half marathon race netted $50,000 to fund critical education programs for our students.
Runners represented five countries, 11 states, and all 16 of our schools. Twenty Redwood City School District employees participated in the race, including top half marathon female winner, teacher Shannon Cody (pictured below). Sixty members of the Wildcat Prowl team joined us from Woodside High School as well as many students and families from Sequoia High School.
Key to the success of the event were our indefatigable volunteers, including volunteer teams from Oracle, Redwood Shores Community Association, Sequoia High School Cross Country and Leadership Teams, Woodside High School, Monta Vista High School Octagon Club, Mz. Shirliz Transitional Living, the City of Redwood City, and Redwood City Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services.
