About the Tyler Brown's "I Hate to Run" Memorial 5K
This race honors a student who died in a car crash during his senior year, remembered by his school as someone who led through service and friendship rather than status. The course runs from a stadium, with a kids fun run on the track before the main event gets going. The morning has a memorial weight to it, not just another road race.
Registration and bib pickup happen at the stadium on race morning, and parking is right there as well. A pre-race Mass takes place in the stadium suite before the start, which tells you something about the crowd. A shop selling items in Tyler's name raises money for a scholarship fund set up in his honor.
