À propos de l'événement
In past years, hundreds of runners of all ages would descend upon the Hillsborough Municipal Building at the end of August to participate in Jason's 5K Run. Many attend to train for an upcoming sports season; others run for fun; but all arrive with the goal of honoring the legacy of a gifted young Hillsborough High School track star, Jason Walton. Jason took his life in 2008 and this run was established by his parents to honor his memory in many ways. This run is more than just a time to celebrate the life of an athlete gone too soon. It’s also a opportunity to raise funds to provide scholarships to Hillsborough High School (HHS) seniors who, like Jason, are runners who embody a warm and generous spirit and sense of sportsmanship towards others.
“This event is more than just a labor of love”, said Linda Walton, Jason’s mother and event organizer. “It’s an opportunity to make an impact in the community. Throughout his high school track years, Jason had the opportunity to compete—and often win—against other talented runners, one of whom—Robby Andrews—went on to be an Olympic athlete. “It’s so wonderful to see athletes that ran with and competed against Jason still attend to honor him and help our desire to continue to award scholarships to two HHS students for their extra efforts, both on and off the track,” Walton continued.
