St. Mary’s Marathon for Non-Public Education
Each fall St. Mary’s students participate in the Marathon for Non-Public Education. Students collect pledges prior to the Marathon and then attend an All-School Mass at St. Mary’s Church followed by a walk around Sleepy Eye Lake. The Marathon is lead by the seniors and followed by the rest of the school.

Our goal for 2025 was $60,000 and we exceed our goal by raising over $90,000. Thanks to all our generous donors we were able to exceed that goal. We look forward to our marathon in 2026!
