Organiser's Description
THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY CHESTERFIELD ALUMNI RUN: HONORING OUR LEGACY
Hey everyone,
There are traditions so special they become the bedrock of our community. For us, the Chesterfield Alumni Run is one of them. It's the homecoming that kicks off our Thanksgiving, the one day we can all come together on the course that holds so many of our memories.
This year marks an incredible milestoneTHE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THIS RUN.
For the 28 years before us, the founders of this event, including the late, great Coach Stan Morgan, poured their hearts into creating this tradition. Last year, they honored us by passing the torch and entrusting us with the responsibility of carrying it forward. Its a duty we hold with immense respect, and our goal is simple: to ensure this legacy lives on for the next 30 years and beyond.
This Thanksgiving is more than just another run. Its a chance for all of us to come together and show what this tradition truly means. Its a chance to honor the founders, to celebrate our shared history, and to be a part of writing its next chapter. You will not want to miss being there for this one.
A TRADITION WITH A PURPOSE
To honor the spirit of the founders, this will always be a _FREE_ community event.
And to honor the man who helped start it all, we are proud to accept donations for the Stan Morgan Memorial Award. As the longtime, legendary coach at Midlothian High School and a co-founder of this very run, Coach Morgan's impact on our local running community is immeasurable. Your optional donation helps us give back to a deserving local high school T&F/XC program in his name. _For the full story, please check out the "Donation" page._
