A community event to benefit the Washougal Schools Foundation
The Student Stride for Education is an all-student fun run and adult 5K run/walk held at the Washougal High School stadium and the adjoining fields. This year’s event will be held Saturday May 20, 2023.
The Student Stride for Education features youth runs for grades K-5 by grade level. High school students, middle school students and adults are encouraged to participate through joining the 5K run or walk or volunteering. Runners will be timed and results posted.
Proceeds from The Student Stride for Education provide opportunities for Washougal students via teacher grants from the Washougal Schools Foundation. These grants fund programs and projects that otherwise would not be available. Runner fees cover event costs, so our wonderful donors and business sponsors provide the real fund raising power of this event.

Back again, how about a little fun and friendly competition during The Stride’s 5K run… Doctors Dave and Tom Stinchfield of Discovery Dental are challenging runners to beat them across the finish line! Everyone who is able to Beat the Docs will get a special award from our title sponsor!
Remember, you have to finish before both of them, but they will be easy to spot with giant targets on the backs of their shirts. Be warned, they are fast!
