Annual King Cake 5K and 1-mile Fun Run                                            

Saturday, January 25, 2025 

Begins and ends at our Early Childhood Campus, 120 S. New Hampshire St. in downtown Covington 

 

Join us for the Annual King Cake 5K and one-mile fun run presented by Christ Episcopal School.  This year’s event will also include a second line parade for current CES ECC students who register (sorry, this portion of the event is not open to the public).

 

We’ll have awards, music, food (including king cake, of course!), drinks, and a good time for all. Lace up those running shoes, wear your Mardi Gras finest (prizes for the most festive outfits!), and laissez les bons temps rouler!
