Run Rich Run

🏃‍♂️ Event Description

Join us on Saturday, June 28, 2025 at 9.a.m. at GlenOak High School for the inaugural Run Rich Run 5K and 1 mile Walk! This special event is dedicated to supporting Richard Schmidt and his courageous fight against Lymphoma. Rich is a 2010 alum of GlenOak High School and former captain of the Cross Country team. In late summer of 2024, this 34 year-old man was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He has battled through 7 recent hospitalizations and 6 rounds of chemotherapy.

Together, we’ll rally around Rich, celebrate his strength, and raise funds to assist with his treatment.
