Red Sock Run

The Red Sock Run features three events: a One Mile Fun Run/Walk, a Toddler Trek and a 5K Cross Country Run, all on the MFS campus. Sponsored by the Red & Blue athletic booster club, the run is held in memory of beloved Fourth Grade Teacher George Thomas, who died in May 2003. George liked to wear red socks and encouraged students to wear red socks on Fridays, hence the title for the run. Proceeds from the run support the George Thomas Endowment for Faculty Salaries. In keeping with George's educational approach, which sought the inner light in each individual, the focus of the Red Sock Run is not to determine "the winner" but instead to encourage participants to strive for their personal best. Sideline supporters cheer all entrants, who receive a commemorative T-shirt with race logos designed by students.
