Organiser's Description
This is the inaugural year of the IAN LEWIS MEMORIAL 5K. Held at beautiful E Carroll Joyner Park in Wake Forest, we are gathering to have fun, get some exercise and raise money for the Ian Lewis Character Scholarship [https://www.liveforian.com/]! Ian was a wonderful, fun-loving young man who uplifted everyone around him, and whose life was tragically cut short in 2019. The scholarship is awarded annually to a male and female senior soccer player at Wake Forest High School who is a loyal friend and teammate and who is a unifying force for the team, all qualities that Ian exhibited.
