The Jaguar 5k was started in 2006 by Jeanne Kelly (FCHS alumni and former Director of Student Activities). The initial year saw a great turnout-- over 300 participants! Over the years it has grown significantly with the positive involvement of students, community members, and staff of FCHS -- with over 800 race participants!

​ All of the proceeds of the event go to benefit fitness activities (including sports programs, a school weight room, and physical education equipment) that help promote a healthy lifestyle.
