Tandem Friends School is excited to announce the inaugural Tandem Friends School 5K Fun Run/Walk, taking place on Sunday, April 26, 2026 at 9am at Darden Towe Park. This fundraising event will bring together students, families, alumni, and community members for a morning of movement and connection in support of the school.
Open to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, the event reflects a core value of Tandem’s athletics program: participation. Tandem Friends School has a no-cut sports policy, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to play and be part of a team.

“At Tandem, we often say that fundraising is a no-cut sport,” said Whitney Thompson, Head of School. “This event is a fun way for our whole community to come together and support the programs and opportunities that make Tandem special.”

Proceeds from the event will support Tandem Friends School, a nonprofit independent Quaker day school serving students in grades 5 –12.
