Mission
The Jim Schoemehl 5k Run was created in 2001 by a marketing/DECA student when a Webster Groves High School teacher’s husband, Jim Schoemehl, was diagnosed with ALS in September. The run was named after him and his family in honor of their fight. Unfortunately, Jim lost his battle with ALS, but his legacy lives on in the annual run.
The tradition continues this year with the 23rd annual event. This run is still organized by Webster Groves High School seniors in their Marketing course.
Proceeds from the run will benefit a local family battling ALS and The ALS Association of St. Louis.
