Organiser's description

Please join us as we honor the life of Stephen Kay in the second annual Risk it for the Biscuit 5k on May 5th, 2024 at 9 AM in St. Johns, MI, Stephen's hometown.

Stephen passed away on December 4, 2021 at the age of 29. He was a husband, son, brother, uncle and a friend to many and he is greatly missed. It goes without saying that Stephen loved running. So what better way to celebrate his life and legacy than by putting on a 5k in his honor. One of Stephen's many catchphrases was "Risk it for the Biscuit". This phrase encompasses how he would encourage others to take chances in life and to live life to the fullest.

Proceeds from the 5k will go towards covering event costs and towards the Stephen Kay Memorial Scholarship Fund, a scholarship for high school seniors on St. John's cross country team where Stephen first developed his passion for running.
