Parnassus Preparatory School's Zeus on the Loose 2026

Zeus on the Loose is Parnassus Preparatory School's spring fundraiser and kicks off our Teacher Appreciation Week celebrations! This year we will have a 5k fun run/walk loop (versus previous years' turnaround route), food trucks, and activities on the quad!

T-shirt and prize pickup is from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM. The walk/run will begin at 9:30 AM. We suggest you arrive by 9:00 AM.

We have prepared this helpful Registration Tips and Instructions document to guide you through the online registration system. There are a few tricky areas--such as creating your own personalized fundraising web page--that this guide will help you navigate. Please download it and review it prior to or during registration.

Help us kick off Teacher Appreciation Week and get pledges from friends, family, and neighbors for your participation in Zeus on the Loose!

Everyone is welcome to come and participate in the race and activities for free. As this is a fundraising event, though, we do ask that you register. By registering, you will receive a commemorative Zeus on the Loose t-shirt and help offset the cost of the event and activities. You can also fundraise through this site which can be used to cover your registration fee. If you fundraise over $30, your registration fee will be refunded.

Please note that t-shirt and prize pickup is from 8:30 to 9:30 AM. The walk/run will start at 9:30 AM. We recommend arriving by 9:00 AM.

This year's shirt is a Parnassus red. We've been forced to change the brand this year but it is still a comfortable blended fabric, unisex t-shirt. Participants often say it is one of their most comfortable t-shirts. They hold up for many years and retain their color and comfort extremely well.

Join us after the race for bubble machines, food trucks, and socializing on the quad.

Stock up on your Nothing Bundt Cakes bundlets for $7 and 20% gets donated back to Parnassus.
