Make A Wave With Stef Ripple 5K

The fifth annual Stefanie Ashdown Memorial Do Your Best 5k returns to Belvedere Elementary in Arnold on September 25 at 8:00am. Sign up for the 5K run, 1-mile walk or kids fun run.

Funds raised will go to Stef Ripple, a nonprofit that raises awareness of ovarian cancer and supports ovarian cancer patients and their families. The organization also shares principles of Stefanie Ashdown’s life: be thankful, be helpful, be kind.

Medals will be awarded to the top three male and female 5k finishers and for several age groups. The top fundraising individual, top fundraising team, and the team from the furthest geographic location will win a prize. Last year's winners in these categories raised $200 for the top individuals, $400 for the top fundraising team, and runner participation came from as far away as Qatar.

Registration is $30, in-person or virtual, for individuals. A discount of $5 is available when four or more registrants sign up. Belvedere Elementary is located at 360 Broadwater Road in Arnold. Register at www.runsignup.com. Learn more about Stef Ripple at www.stefripple.org.
