Event Description

The Derek Sheldon Memorial 5K was established just last year in honor of Derek Sheldon, a student from Elmwood High School who tragically died just days before his 18th birthday in 2015. In his memory, a scholarship was created. Each year, Derek's family selects an Elmwood Senior who demonstrates the characteristics that are now known as simply "#DerekTough to receive this scholarship.  This event will benefit that fund.
