Students, parents, teachers, employees and other supporters of the Edmonds School District turned out in large numbers Saturday morning for the sixth annual Celebrate Schools! 5k Run/Walk at Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood.
The day started off with a Children’s Fun Run, which was won by Will Konings, 7, of Hilltop Elementary School. The overall winner of the 5k Run was Chris Kratz, a 2007 graduate of Meadowdale High School. Kratz clocked in with a time of 19 minutes, 16 seconds. The top female finisher was Edlawte Sentayehu, a student at College Place Middle School, whose time was 21:27.
The school with the most participants was Lynndale Elementary with 162 runners/walkers. Principal Chris Fulford ran the race in a Lions’ costume. Edmonds-Woodway won the Battle of the Bands (drum corps).
The event is a fundraiser for the Foundation for Edmonds School District.
