Join us for the 2nd Annual Jared Meyers Legacy Race! This is a 5K charity run/1 mile walk within the Ellwood City community in honor of Jared Meyers on Sunday, September 28th.
Jared tragically passed away unexpectedly in March of 2024 due to Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disease in combination with Myocardio Bridging, which is an underlying heart defect that he was not aware he had. He leaves behind his young wife, their son, many loving family members, countless close friends, and his local family business, that he was very proud of.
As an esteemed member of our community, the mark he leaves on the lives of many is indelible, and we believe that hosting this event is a fitting tribute to his memory. This event aims to celebrate the life and legacy of Jared while also raising funds for the Jared Meyers Legacy Foundation. Our race team is dedicated to ensuring that this event is organized with the utmost respect and sensitivity, reflecting the values and spirit of Jared and the entire Meyers family.
