About this run
The 2026 Run for Reed is a community event designed to support specialist programs at Reed, Bel Aire, and Del Mar schools within the RUSD district. This event also serves as the kickoff for the Foundation's annual Family Giving Campaign, aiming to raise $2 million for RUSD.
The race features a 1/2 mile course specifically for PreK and Kindergarten students, while all other students will participate in a 1-mile fun run. The course begins and ends at Blackie's Pasture, winding through McKegney Green and the South Knoll field.
