STEM 5K at Biddeford Middle School 2026

BMS STEM students are excited to host our Annual SPOOKY 5K this year. The idea for this race was born as a student-led project. Students work alongside their teachers in planning and hosting this event. The purpose is to promote positive community and to raise money for special STEM learning activities at BMS. The money goes toward field trips, maintaining STEM equipment, and other endeavors to enrich our students' experiences at school. In addition, students learn many other valuable skills as they work on various planning aspects of the project such as fundraising, marketing/design, course planning, and race officiating. This event takes place near Halloween, so costumes are encouraged! The course also contains Halloween themed decorations. There is an additional event that takes place during the 5K, called the Candy K. This fun event is geared toward children 10 and younger and includes age appropriate games and a 1 kilometer fun-run, during which participants collect candy and traverse through a decorated course.
