Event summary
Join us for the inspiring 5th annual Miles4Marcus fundraising challenge on Saturday, May 16, 2026, in beautiful Mahwah, Bergen! This heartwarming event pays tribute to Marcus Kayal, a beloved Mahwah High School student and dedicated soccer player who left an indelible mark on his community before his untimely passing in December 2019. Participants can choose to run or walk as many laps as possible within one hour, with every mile completed contributing to a collective effort in Marcus’s memory.
This special event is not just about physical activity; it's a celebration of Marcus’s passion for soccer, his commitment to academics, and the respect he showed to everyone around him. As participants don the number 4 in honor of Marcus, they will work together to achieve a targeted goal, determined by the number of attendees. All proceeds will directly support the Marcus Kayal Legacy4Life initiative, which provides vital cardiac screenings for students at Mahwah High School in collaboration with the MCore Foundation. Join us to honor Marcus and make a difference in the lives of young people in the community!
