About this race
Join us, wear red, and celebrate Edder with us.
In the early hours of November 2, 2025, the Normal Fire Department bravely responded to a house fire. The impact of that morning has been felt throughout our community, especially at Parkside Junior High School, where Edder had just completed his cross country season.
On Sunday, November 8, we invite the community to gather at Parkside Junior High School for this 3 Mile Run and Walk. Extra proceeds from the event, along with any donations, will benefit the Children’s Hospital Burn Unit (FPO), helping support the care of children and families facing burn injuries.
Donations are encouraged and accepted.
An apparel store (FPO) is open for a limited time: https://orders.minervapromotions.com/redder_for_edder/shop/home
