Description

The John Gray Memorial 5K is an annual walk/run night race in Racine, Ohio. Every August, the community of Racine gathers at Star Mill Park in memory of John "JJ" Gray, a member of the Southern High School Class of 2013, who passed away in August 2011. The event kicks off in the early evening hours with a bake sale, karaoke, a DJ, cornhole, and concludes with the race which attracts over 100 people each year. All competitors are encouraged to wear bright clothing, glow bracelets, and glow necklaces as they race through the streets of Racine under the guidance of streetlights.

All money raised through the event goes to the John Gray Memorial Scholarship Fund, which annually gives out scholarships to members of the graduating class at Southern High School.
