The Stanley Clark School’s mission is to inspire and challenge students to achieve excellence in academics, the arts, athletics, and character. We invite the entire community to experience this commitment to excellence through a healthy activity for the whole family. The SCS’s Parents Association (PA) has organized this event and we are excited to see you there!

The 12th Annual Clark Run is a family friendly event featuring a 5K Run, 3.5K Walk and .05K Tiger Trot. The Stanley Clark School's Parents' Association is excited to showcase the beautiful rolling hills of South Bend’s south side and offer a unique, well organized race for area runners. This is a fundraiser for the Parents' Association.
