8:00 am. Proceeds benefit Jessica Colter Memorial Scholarship. It began with a running club, affectionately called the Sole Sisters. Jessica Colter was and always will be a Sole Sister. When we tragically lost Jessica we knew we had to keep her memory alive and honor her life. That is how Jogging For Jess - The Jessica Colter Memorial Scholarship 5k Race started. We are a volunteer group working to give back to others in honor of our beloved Sole Sister Jessica.
