Little Flower School is proud to announce its 10th annual Patriot Day 5K Run/Walk, taking place Saturday, September 6, 2025, at the school campus in Great Mills. This milestone celebration brings together runners, walkers, families and community supporters for a morning of fitness, fun and fellowship.
The decade-long tradition has become a cornerstone event for the school and community, drawing participants of all ages and fitness levels to honor local “Patriots,” which includes military members, firefighters, police officers and emergency medical technicians.
“For 10 years, the Patriot Day 5K has united our community in a powerful tribute to the heroes who inspire us and the values that ground us,” said Patriot Day 5K committee co-chair Olivia Douglass.
“This race is more than a tradition—it’s a celebration of faith, service and the enduring spirit of Little Flower School,” added co-chair Vanessa Burgan.
