Ruth's Race

Ruth’s Race 5K Walk & Run is an event to promote physical fitness, the sport of running, generate funds for a H.O.L.T. Scholarship in memory of the late Ruth Pridgeon, and raise awareness about pancreatic cancer. Ruth (Coach Pridge as she was known by her athletes) was a dedicated teacher and coach for Holt Public Schools before pancreatic cancer took her from us when she was far too young to leave. When Coach Pridge passed, she left a gaping hole in the lives of her students, her athletes, her friends, and her family.
