Event Description

The Emilie Hobbs Memorial Scholarship 5K Run/Walk, Little Rosie 1K, and 5K Dog Walk is a special race to honor Emilie Hobbs, a former Peru High School student and an avid runner, who passed away on February 23, 2018 from complications due to ventricular fibrillation while on a training run. Unknown to anyone, and displaying no obvious signs, Emilie had two congenital heart conditions; arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and hypertrophic septal cardiomyopathy, both progressive congenital heart conditions. Emilie ran competitively from the age of 11, and she had recently graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology where she had competed for four years on the Rose-Hulman Cross-Country, Indoor & Outdoor Track Teams. She loved running. It was her passion, and it only seems fitting to hold a race each year in her honor. 

The proceeds from this race will be added to the Emilie Hobbs Memorial Fund and a check will be written to the Emilie Hobbs Memorial Scholarship Endowment through the Miami County Community Foundation. This scholarship will be given each year to two Peru High School senior females who are pursuing a STEM degree. Special consideration will be given to those students who are involved in Science Olympiad and/or Science Academic Super Bowl.
