The 30th Springmont Festival & Montessori Mile will be held on Saturday, October 18th! Even if you aren’t a runner, all families are invited to join us on campus for the fun! The day begins with a warm-up in the Pavilion at 8:30, followed by one-mile fun runs on Long Island Drive for adults and children 6-14 years and then dashes for younger students (6 and under) on the Field. 

Early Bird Race Registration
All fun run and dash participants, as well as anyone wanting one of the long-sleeved commemorative t-shirts, are encouraged to register! Early Bird Race Registrations are $25 each and are due by 8 a.m. on Wednesday, September 17th. After this date, we cannot guarantee your preferred t-shirt size, and each registration will increase to $30. Click here for Early Bird Race Registration!
