About this race

Join us for the annual Ian Lewis Memorial 5K. Held at beautiful E Carroll Joyner Park in Wake Forest, we are gathering to have fun, get some exercise and raise money for the Ian Lewis Character Scholarship! Ian was a wonderful, fun-loving young man who uplifted everyone around him, and whose life was tragically cut short in 2019. The scholarship is awarded annually to a male and female senior soccer player at Wake Forest High School who is a loyal friend and teammate and who is a unifying force for the team, all qualities that Ian exhibited. 💚
