Elizabeth "Betty" Walton 5K
The Elizabeth "Betty" Walton 5K is a walking and running event held in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The event takes place at 1301 Carrier Drive and offers participants a chance to engage in a community-focused athletic activity.
The event features two primary categories for participants:
- Current Student: 5K
- Non-Student: 5K
This walk/run is organized through a partnership involving James Madison University (JMU) Intelligence Analysis Student Ambassadors and the Women in Intelligence and National Security Club. The primary objective of the gathering is to raise funds for the Elizabeth "Betty" Walton endowment. These funds support an annual memorial scholarship dedicated to highly motivated students within the Intelligence Analysis program, specifically those from underrepresented populations.
The scholarship honors the legacy of Elizabeth Walton, who had a career as an Intelligence Analyst. The initiative was established by her husband, a professor in the JMU Intelligence Analysis program, following her passing in 2018. Participants have the option to enter the race or provide additional support through donations to help future analysts in the program.
