Katie Welling Memorial 2.5 Mile Run/Walk - Virtual Event

The Katie Welling Memorial Run/Walk is a 2.5 mile race.  On April 10, 2005, Katie, a 2002 BHS graduate, died in an off campus fire at Miami University in Ohio. Katie had just turned 21.  While we all continue to struggle in our own way to cope with this tragedy, it has become abundantly clear that togetherness helps us heal.  The memory of Katie’s wonderful sense of humor, her infectious laugh, and her love of life helps to shape and color our lives and keeps us all forever connected with her.  For this reason, her vast array of friends have organized The Annual Katie Welling Memorial Run/Walk. 

We hoped to be able to have a live event this year, but we have decided to pivot to a fully virtual event for maximum safety and flexibility.  We invite virtual participants to run, walk or bike at any time from November 15 through 30.  Walking or running on a treadmill or riding on a stationary bike at home are also great ways to participate.  

Please take a moment to take a photo and upload it after you finish so we can all share in this event together.

If you would prefer to send us your photos directly so we can upload them for you, please email them to Helena McSherry at hmcsherry@bronxvilleschool.org. In addition, please reach out by email if you need any assistance with registration.

There is no registration fee this year, but a tax-deductible contribution would be welcomed.  Donations will benefit The Bronxville School Foundation whose mission is to enhance the quality of the education at The Bronxville School where Katie spent so many happy years.

Online Registration closes on Tuesday Nov. 30th.
