The Sacajawea Middle School’s third annual Warrior 1000 Fun Run/Walk is a fundraiser for school “extras,” such as sports equipment, uniforms, music contest fees and educational field trips.

This year’s event will be at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 29 at Sacajawea Park.

The school’s associated student body officers have developed a budget to fund all club, music and sporting requests, benefiting students all over campus, because of the success of past Warrior 1000 fundraiser events, according to the Federal Way school district. The target amount for this year’s fundraiser is $10,000.

Students participate in the Warrior 1000 by collecting as many pledges as they can and completing a 1,000 meter course through Sacajawea Park. Students in the PE department have been training for this run monthly in preparation for a successful event.
