CHAZY, N.Y. — The 6th Annual Strides for James event will return to Miner Institute on Saturday, May 12. Strides for James is a 5K/10K/fun run that raises funds for the James Dean Wilson Memorial Scholarship at Clinton Community College. The event is in honor of James Wilson, an avid outdoorsman who was always willing to help others. He was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2012. The scholarship provides an opportunity to channel James’ giving spirit and help others. The Strides for James planning committee is pleased to again be working with Adirondack Coast Events for the event.
“The James Wilson Memorial Scholarship is very meaningful to our family. James would be so happy to give the same opportunity he had at Clinton Community College to someone else,” the Wilson family said.
Strides for James is an event for the entire family, with a children’s fun run and walk in addition to the 5K and 10K runs. Additionally, the Heart’s Delight Farm Heritage Exhibit will be open to visitors, as will Miner Institute’s horse and dairy barns. Registration begins at 8 a.m. on race day. The children’s run begins at 9 a.m. and the 5K/10K races begin at 9:50 a.m. The awards ceremony and raffles will be at 11:15 a.m. There will be a little something for everyone, whether you plan to run or not!
