From the Organizer
This is a 5k race in memory of Drew Ceppetelli who passed away on Thanksgiving morning. This is an event that honors her life and raises funds for a scholarship in her name. This is a way for friends, family, and community members to come together and remember her while raising money for a fund used for people to better themselves, a cause that was important to her.
The race is an untimed event, which means that participants can run or walk the course at their own pace. The course is designed to be beginner-friendly, with mostly flat terrain, and is suitable for all fitness levels.
Participants can register for the race in advance below or on the day of the event between 8 and 9 AM. Donations for the scholarship fund can be made during registration or on the day of the event. Participants are encouraged to wear pink shirts (either those made for the 5k or something similar).
The 5k race is more than just a run. It's an opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate a life that was tragically cut short. It's a chance to remember a young woman who touched the lives of so many and to honor her memory by supporting a cause that was important to her.
