From the Organizer
This will be a mostly flat course on the Five Star Trail. The race will begin at Lynch Field and go up the hill to the Five Star Trail. Registration is at Kaufman Pavilion at Lynch Field.
Westmoreland Christian Academy will host its 6th Annual Jordan Tomson Memorial 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, October 10, 2026, on the Five Star Trail beginning at Lynch Field in Greensburg.
The race is in honor of our late principal, Mr. Jordan Tomson, who unexpectedly passed away on January 1, 2020. An avid runner and excellent educator, Principal Tomson dedicated much of his life to teaching, mentoring, and encouraging the students of Westmoreland Christian Academy.
The Proceeds from this event will benefit the Jordan Tomson Memorial Scholarship Fund. Christian education was extremely important to Principal Tomson, and the funds from this scholarship are allocated to supplement the cost of tuition for families who desire their children to receive a quality Christian education but who are unable to pay the full amount. All money goes directly toward the education of local children in our community.
