2026 Running is Elementary Video and Photo Gallery

2 weeks ago

"Race day for the annual Running is Elementary, sponsored by P-H-M’s Education Foundation, was a little windy, but gorgeous: just enough sunshine, just enough warmth, and the raindrops held off until all the races were over. This year was one of the biggest yet with 700+ students from all 11 P-H-M elementary schools. The one mile run is held at Penn’s Cross-country course, which is located behind Elm Road Elementary School.  Fourth and fifth graders are encouraged to sign up for the free running club. Designated coaches at each school then train with the runners for the 6-week club culminating in the one mile race. More than 700 students participated this year! This picture of two 4th grade runners exemplifies what RIE is all about.  These two boys were running neck and neck all the way to the finish line vying for first place. After the race, the Disney boy (dark navy t-shirt) went out of his way to find the Moran runner (pink shirt) so they could take a picture together. The students being from two different schools had never met before, but in that moment, it didn’t matter. Running is Elementary not only teaches students about fitness and wellness, it also teaches them sportsmanship, connection and the importance of supporting and celebrating each other! Click to see the list below of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners only for the four races. The list shows finish times listed by bib number and school. Parents should contact their school coach for their child’s specific time. What makes this event so special is that students are cheered on by their fellow students, families, teachers, running coaches, principals, PHM School Board members and administrators, principals, and other PHM staff members. A photo gallery sample is below, but click here to visit the full photo gallery in the Education Foundation’s Canto photo portal.
