The run/walk is open to all ages, and the top three winners will be awarded in each of the age categories as well as the overall male and female finishers. A cash donation will be awarded to the schools with the most registrants. In 2022, these schools were Palm Valley Academy, Pine Island Academy, Durbin Creek Elementary, Timberlin Creek Elementary, Ocean Palms Elementary, and Palencia Elementary. All racers registered by January 5, 2024, will receive a t-shirt and other giveaways from area businesses and organizations. At the finish line, each race participant will receive a finisher’s medal.
This event is produced by the CHARACTER COUNTS! Steering Committee and is presented by Beaver Toyota with support from businesses and community groups. Action News Jax CBS47/FOX30 is the official media sponsor.
The SJCSD, along with area businesses, youth organizations and civic groups, selected the national character education program of CHARACTER COUNTS! as a countywide initiative to instill positive character traits in young people throughout the county. Additionally, the SJCSD became the first school district in Florida to implement Pursuing Victory With Honor in all of its athletic programs. Character education is an important part of every School Improvement Plan and a major component of the Student Code of Conduct and the school district’s Strategic Plan.
