Scotties Stampede 5K Held in B’Spa

BALLSTON SPA — The Ballston Spa Central School District recently hosted the annual Scotties Stampede 5k Run/Walk as part of the district’s Wellness Day 2023. The event followed a highly popular Kids Color Run with close to 300 students enjoying a run around the campus amidst clouds of color chalk. 

The top three finishers of the Scotties 5k were Andrew Wade in first place, Ari Bishop in second place and Robert Diamond in third place. Complete results are available via the ARE events website.

The Gold Level Sponsors of the event were Empire BlueCross and Blue Shield. Silver Level Sponsors included Roundabout Runners Club, CDPHP, Adirondack Cabling, Inc., New York State Sheriffs’ Association, NYSSA – C-Pass, Ballston Spa National Bank and Speckled Pig Brewing Co. Bronze Level Sponsors were High Rock Realty, Inc., John W Danforth Company, Leonard Bus Sales Inc., Adirondack Trust Company, Elliott Property Services and T-Shirt Graphics. The Community Level Supporter was Harold R Clune, Inc.

The Wellness Expo once again offered information from community organizations, a free bike raffle, live demonstrations and plenty of great giveaways during the event. The goal is to bring the school community together for a fun-filled day and encourage students and families to participate in healthy and active lifestyles.

As in year’s past, proceeds from the event will support the district’s Ballston Spa Partnership for Innovation in Education Fund, a component fund of the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region.
