FROM OUR RACE DIRECTOR

The 25th Annual Lew Blond Memorial Run/Walk was a milestone marked by good fortune! Though the morning started with rain and dark clouds, the rain luckily stopped just in time for the start of our 5K and the sun began shining soon after.


We are even more fortunate, however, that the Lew Blond Run has gained incredible support over the last 25 years from our District 30 families, broader community and local businesses. It is wonderful to see everyone joining together to support the Les Turner Foundation, in memory of former Maple School Teacher Lew Blond, who passed away from ALS in 2000.


Thanks to you, this year we raised $15,000 that will support the Les Turner Foundation, plus scholarships for local students studying the applied arts, and District 30 special projects. We are grateful to you for your support of this important cause, and hope you will join us for our 2027 run.


Thank you for being part of the 2026 Lew Blond Run!
