From the Organizer
Run (or Walk) for Chase – 5K to Benefit the Chase Yarns Memorial Scholarship.
In June 2024, we experienced the unimaginable loss of our son and brother, Chase Yarns, at just 26 years old. Chase brought endless love, laughter, and kindness to everyone he met. His spirit lives on through the Chase Yarns Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Please join us for a 5K run or 2M walk to help support this fund and honor Chase’s memory.

Whether you run, jog, or walk, your participation helps continue Chase’s legacy and support student-athletes who share his passion and heart.
Thank you for helping us carry Chase’s spirit forward.
