The ‘Due Run is a 5K and 1 mile run that fundraises the LEF nonprofit organization for their grants and initiatives that help further the academic opportunities for students across the district.

LEF provided entertainment including a DJ, performances from the Laduettes and cheer team, gift card giveaways and food. Medals were awarded to the fastest runners in age groups. High school students in the National Honor Society chapter volunteered at the event as course monitors, photographers and mascots from each Ladue school. “It was pretty hot in those costumes, I was the [Conway] ram,” Garon Agrawal (12) said. “It got pretty hot, but it was a really fun experience. I loved giving all the kids high fives, and everyone’s really excited to see us mascots.”](https://laduepublications.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/DJI_20240921083433_0022_D-1200x675.jpg)
