The run also includes a virtual pet contest and a mile fun run. The club sponsors K-Kids for elementary schools, Key Club for high schoolers, Circle-K at the college level, and the Aktion Club for individuals with developmental disabilities. All working to build future leaders.

Students from Elmwood participated in The Daily Mile, a program that encourages students to go out and run or walk a mile. Even 15 minutes of being active can make a big difference in a youth's life. A $10,000 donation was also made by INEOS to the school to help with their project of a track field area behind the school.
