Event summary
Join us for "A Pace for Petey," a heartwarming event dedicated to raising awareness about overdose, drug addiction, and recovery. Scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd, 2026, this impactful event will take place in Tuscola, Douglas, starting from the south parking lot of Tuscola High School. Participants will honor the memory of Jordan "Petey" Scribner, who tragically lost his battle with addiction at just 20 years old. Runners will complete a course that culminates in a final lap around the TCHS football field, a place filled with cherished memories of Petey's time as an athlete.
This year, we're excited to introduce "Jake's Jog," a special kids' fun run honoring Jacob Scribner, Petey's brother, who also faced the challenges of substance use. Designed for children aged 10 and under, this fun run will be a single lap around the track, with every participant receiving a participation medal. This event is not just a race; it’s a celebration of life, remembrance, and community. Whether you're running, cheering, or volunteering, your presence will make a difference. Come be a part of this uplifting day, and let’s create awareness together!

Organiser's Description
The goal of A Pace for Petey is to bring about awareness to overdose/drug addiction and recovery. It is in honor of Jordan "Petey" Scribner, who at the young age of 20, lost his battle of addiction to a tragic heroin overdose on February 17, 2014. It will begin in the south parking lot of Tuscola High school, close to his final resting place, and end with a lap on the track around the TCHS football field, where he played many, many football games and ran on the track team.
New this year is a kids fun run, called Jake's Jog! It is in honor of Jacob (Petey's brother), who also lost his battle to substance use, on May 29, 2019, at the age of 29. His resting place is right next to his brother. Jacob always drove the golf cart sag wagon at A Pace for Petey, prior to losing his battle. Jake's jog is for kids 10 and under. It will be one lap around the track and all kids will receive a participation medal.
Both boys are GREATLY missed--especially by Jake's daughter, Makenna!
Come join us in the race, or cheer the runners on. Be a sponsor and/or a volunteer! We can't wait to see you all!!
