Description

Longtime Livonia educator, mentor, coach and friend, Rick Austin, had a very unexpected and untimely passing in March of this year.  To remember him and all of the lives he impacted, we are hosting the first ever 'Rick Austin Memorial 5K.'  Rick was a compassionate, caring man that always wanted to see his students, colleagues, friends and family succeed.  He was a teacher at CHS for 30 years, and was the head Men's Track and Field Coach for over 20 years.  In honor of the committment he had to his school and athletes, we honor him with this run.

All proceeds for this race will benefit the Churchill Athletic Patrons scholarships that help students to participate in athletics at Churchill High School, something Rick cared deeply about.
