GPS Race for Grace

Join us for a day of fun at the annual "Race for Grace" 5K run/walk at Willowmere Park! Whether you are looking to race for the gold or just looking for a graceful stroll, this event is for you! An event shirt is included in the cost of registration for the 5K.

This event is a fundraiser for Grace Preparatory School (GPS). GPS is a fully accredited, non-denominational Christian School in Stafford, Virginia with a strong focus on the family! Our event is fun for the whole family and we will have a bounce house, food trucks, and music. The registration for the Kids Run is free, but if a child would like a shirt, those can be purchased for $15 at the link above or at the event (while supplies last).
