About the Run Like Jio Memorial 5k Walk / Run
The course runs through Vista View Park, a natural setting that gives the morning an open, unhurried feel. This is a memorial race honoring a young man known for bringing people together, and the crowd reflects that. Runners and walkers show up alongside friends and family of Jio, making the atmosphere feel more like a gathering than a race.
Proceeds go toward scholarships for students and donations to charitable organizations that reflect the values Jio lived by. If supporting those causes matters to you, that purpose runs through the whole event, from the start line to whatever follows at the finish.
