About the Run for Berry 2026
The race starts at a memorial bench near the bell tower on the Northwest College campus, a spot chosen because it honors Berry Bryant, the young woman the race exists to remember. Proceeds support a scholarship in her name and violence prevention education in the community. The course offers a short option and a longer one, both suited to walking or running.
Check-in happens the evening before at a local business called Paint the Town Red, or on race morning before the start. Either way, you pick up your bag there and are ready to go.
