Event summary
Join us for a heartfelt and inspiring event, "A Pace for Petey," taking place on Saturday, September 28, 2024, in Tuscola, Douglas. This meaningful race aims to raise awareness about overdose and drug addiction, honoring the memory of Jordan "Petey" Scribner, who tragically lost his battle with addiction at just 20 years old. The event kicks off at the south parking lot of Tuscola High School, near Petey's final resting place, and culminates with a special lap around the TCHS football field, where he created unforgettable memories as both a football player and a track star.
This year, we are excited to introduce a new addition: Jake's Jog, a fun run for children aged 10 and under, honoring Jacob, Petey's brother, who also faced the challenges of substance use. Jake's Jog will consist of a single lap around the track, and every child will receive a participation medal, celebrating their efforts and the spirit of community. Come out to support this important cause, whether by participating in the race, cheering on the runners, or volunteering your time. Together, we can make a difference and honor the memories of those we cherish. We can't wait to see you

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!
