Grant Crawford Memorial Run

Grant Crawford Memorial Run

Merck Animal Health will sponsor a 5 km run/walk the morning of Wednesday, April 8th with a 6:30 am start time.  Grant Crawford was an exemplary husband, father, colleague, friend, scientist, leader, and runner whose life ended in a tragic car accident last spring.  Dr. Crawford was a co-chair of the Midwest Consulting Nutritionist Forum and an active participant in the Plains Nutrition Conference.  This inaugural race will be continued for years to come.

Race entry fee will be $50 plus a small online processing fee; the $50 entry fee will be donated directly to the Grant Ira Crawford Memorial Fund established by the Crawford family.  Additional donations can also be made through the site.

The race will be a timed event with top individual three male and female runners recognized at the end of the race.   Additional fundraising efforts will also be made for current employer and alma mater teams with the top four times for each “team” competing against other “teams”. 

Participants will also receive a race day technical tee sponsored by Merck Animal Health with the slogan “Be More Like Grant”.  Packet pick-ups will open at 6:00 am, the morning of the race.
