About the MIKE WALSH MEMORIAL 5K RUN/WALK
This race is a memorial run honoring a man who gave years to Bement High School athletics as a coach, booster, and school board member. The gymnasium there carries his name. Scholarship money raised goes to student athletes heading into college sports, so the race has a purpose behind it beyond the miles.
The event falls in winter, so expect cold weather. A virtual option exists for runners who cannot make it in person, with results posted online after the race.
