The race, which will be on October 11, is held in memory of Latimer, who was murdered two days before his 24th birthday in 2011. Funds raised from the race benefit the Steven K. Latimer Memorial Scholarship Fund, which provides educational scholarships to Rhode Island children who have lost either a parent, guardian or loved one due to an act of violence.

Steven would have been proud to be a part of this celebration.”
The race begins at 10 a.m. and is open to all age groups and experience levels. Early registration runs from now until October 9. Event-day registration is also available as well. BankRI is the Presenting Sponsor for this event.
