Bring the National Day to Move

for Education to Your School

One Day. One Movement. Your School Community

On October 10, 2026, schools and communities across the country will come together for the We ❤️ Teachers 5K Worldwide — a national movement celebrating educators through movement, wellness, appreciation, and community.  Every school already wants to honor its teachers. The 10.10 School Celebration gives you a complete event infrastructure to actually do it — on a national stage, connected to hundreds of other schools, with a toolkit that handles all the planning for you. It costs the school nothing. It requires one person to lead it. And it produces the kind of community moment that teachers remember for the rest of their careers — because your team and community showed up for them publicly.
 
Your school can participate in its OWN way while joining thousands of people nationwide moving together for teachers.
 
This is more than a race.
 
It’s a school celebration.
A wellness event.
A community movement.
A day to recognize the educators who make a difference every day.

 

 

Your School Can Make It Your Own ❤️

 

Every school celebration can look different.
 
Some schools may organize:
  • A campus walk or fun run

  • A neighborhood or park meetup
  • A track-based event
  • A teacher appreciation rally
  • A community fitness celebration
  • A student/family walk
  • A spirit event with music, signs, and school colors
 
The goal is simple:
