🤝 About the Race

Some of his former students and runners came up with the idea to honor him with a race in his name, and to tie it in with the 200th Anniversary Celebration of KSD recently. He and his good friend, Coach E. G. Plummer of Danville High School worked together to establish Cross Country teams at both KSD and DHS. The goal is for the Finke 5K Run/Walk to become an annual tradition. Arlen Finke sadly passed away at a young age in January 2024 from Alzheimer's Disease. Proceeds from the event will go to the KSD Alumni Association (KSDAA), which supports various needs such as athletic programs, equipment, uniforms and other student-related projects.
