Runners and walkers can Race for the Kids, in memory of Clarkston teacher Chuck Keegan, this weekend at Clarkston Junior High School.
Mike Greve, history teacher at the junior high, organized the 5K run and 3K walk, May 2.
Proceeds will fund Clarkston Foundation scholarships for local students. Greve worked and coached with Keegan, who passed away this past year from cancer, for about nine years.
“He touched more people than he realized. He was an inspiration to a lot of people in the community,” Greve said. “He was a wonderful, giving, selfless person who would do anything for his fellow staff members, his students and those students who ran track for him.”
Greve expects more than 100 participants this year at the walk and run, which he hopes becomes an annual event.
“I want it to grow,” he said.
Race-day registration, $25/individual, $60 family, starts at 8 a.m., with races starting at 9 a.m. at Clarkston Junior High School track, 6595 Waldon Road. Donut Dash, a variety of games for children 10 and under, is $5.
