Run for Jim
Run for Jim is a memorial fundraising event taking place in St. Albans, Vermont, on 05/17/2026. The event is based at 179 Congress St and centers on a community 5K run/walk held on the trails at Hardack. 5K (3.1 miles) is offered as the core distance and trail shoes or trail-appropriate attire are recommended.
The event supports a memorial fund established after the death of a local teacher and longtime girls’ basketball coach from brain cancer. Proceeds are used to help residents of Franklin and Grand Isle counties with expenses related to catastrophic illnesses. Awards from the fund are distributed through a memorial fund administered at Northwestern Medical Center.
An apple pie is offered as a prize. The event day includes activities before and after the race, such as corn hole, raffles, food and drink, and music. Information provided by the organizer indicates an emphasis on community support and fundraising for medical-related expenses rather than competition-only results.
