Jimmy Rich Memorial 5K

Please note: By registering for this particular event, you're signing up to complete the 5K walk AND "the extra mile", for a total of 4.1 miles.

The extra mile is not timed. Please continue reading for additional details.

Throughout his life, Jimmy strove to follow Jesus’ directive in Matthew 5:41, which says, “And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.” He was constantly “going the extra mile” for family, friends, acquaintances, customers, even strangers. He never hesitated to give more, stay longer, or try harder. He was a firm believer in doing everything possible to assist those who called on him—and he was called on to shoulder and answer a lot!

If Jimmy went “the extra mile” for you—or if you believe, like he did, that we can always do a little more to help those around us—we hope you’ll consider going “the extra mile” for him. After you complete the 5K portion of the race, you’ll have the opportunity to go one more mile.

This mile will not be timed, and you have the option of running, jogging, walking (or crawling, if need be!) at your desired pace. Use it as your cool down, or use it to push yourself just a little bit further—like Jimmy would. Either way, we hope you’ll choose to “go the extra mile” for Jimmy!
