14th Annual Sunrise Walkathon for Wellness
Friday, October 24, 2025
The Walkathon is a special Bobcat tradition and the Sunrise PTO's only annual fundraiser. Every dollar given by family, friends, and community members makes a difference, and 100% of Walkathon donations directly benefit Sunrise students, staff, and families.
During the Walkathon, students spend the morning walking or running the school track, cheering on classmates, and building our oneClowder community spirit. Each grade walks together and teachers, staff, and family members cheer students on, or join them on the track.
Thank you for supporting your Bobcat’s participation in the 2025 Walkathon! It was a joy to see students, staff, and families together on the track building our Sunrise community spirit.
As a school, the students ran a ton!
Total Laps: 6,346
Total Miles: 762
That’s an average of 2.7 miles for each student. Go Bobcats!
