What better way to celebrate the St. Mary's upward momentum than with a 5K race to honor the memory of one of the school's greatest alumni and supporters, Chris Griswold?
The former race leadership team, led by Dr. Nick Aquino, a St. Mary’s graduate of the Class of 1973, has passed the baton (pun intended) to the St. Mary’s Athletics Department to do the behind the scenes work leading up to the race. Dr. Aquino is still very much involved and wants to ensure this incarnation of the Griswold Run is the best it has ever been.
We wanted to share an important update regarding this year’s event. The Griswold Run has been postponed and will now take place on Thursday, September 17 at 5:30 p.m. This new date aligns more closely with St. Mary’s LancerFest/Alumni Weekend, creating a greater opportunity for alumni, families, and friends of the school to come together and be part of this meaningful event.
We are excited about the potential this new timing brings—allowing us to grow participation, strengthen connections within the St. Mary’s community, and continue celebrating Chris’s lasting impact in an even bigger way.
Pre-registration (prior to September 16): $30 Day-of registration: $40 St. Mary's students: $20 (see coupon code details)
