Description

THIS RACE HAS BEEN CANCELLED BY THE EVENT ORGANIZERS

 

Jared Bynum, a committed runner, triathlete and one of the founders of the PRS Running Club, suddenly and tragically lost his life on Sunday, October 7, 2012 when he was struck from behind by an SUV at the  halfway point of his last 100 mile training ride before the 2012 Florida Ironman. 
 
In memory of our friend, the PRS Running Club will host the annual JB 5k Race and a new timed 1 mile race for kids 12 and under at Bold City Brewery on Saturday, December 5th starting at 4:00pm.

The motto of our race: “Live. Run.  Finish Well” describes the life of Jared Bynum.  We encourage all of you to join us in living out this motto on Saturday, December 5, 2015 for a fast and fun run through the electic neighborhood surrounding Bold City..  The run will be a looped course which is great for spectating as well.

Benefitting

A portion of the proceeds from the event will fund the Jared Bynum Memorial Scholarship, which is given out every year by the PRS Running Club to a college bound Jacksonville area high school senior who participated in cross country and/or track and best exemplifies excellence in running, excellence in character and excellence in academics.   For more information about the Jared Bynum Memorial Scholarship Fund please visit http://prsrunningclub.com
