A community event to benefit the Washougal Schools Foundation
The Student Stride for Education is a fun run and 5K run/walk held at the Washougal High School stadium and the adjoining fields. This year’s event will be held Saturday May 21, 2022.
The Student Stride for Education features youth runs for grades K-5 by grade level and a 5K run/walk for high school students, middle school students and adults. 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.

The Kitty Dash
The Kitty Dash is a FREE event open to kids five and under. And parents are welcome to run along! Sign up the morning of The Stride to walk or run one lap around the track and cross the finish line just like the big kids! It is the last run of the day. No pre-registration required. Participants will receive an official Kitty Dash runner bib, a finish line ribbon and, of course, a well-earned bottle of water!
Stride shirts are optional and can be pre-purchased for $10 until April 29, 2022.
Beat the Docs
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 all three of them, but they will be easy to spot with giant targets on the backs of their shirts. Be warned, they are fast!
Ninja Warrior Course
Test your skills on this fun obstacle course!
Anyone can participate in this obstacle course created by Washougal River Crossfit. It’s a fun challenge for runners and non-runners, little brothers or sisters and grandparents too!
