The course

From the organizer

In honor of one of the best humans who ever lived, whose life was tragically cut short a week before her 35th birthday in 2015, please join us for the second annual Jodie Schmahl-Olson Memorial 5K! Jodie passed away on May 24, 2015, after a very short but courageous fight against Glioblastoma brain cancer. The Jodie Schmahl-Olson Memorial 5K is held in downtown Two Harbors, MN, Jodie's hometown. Event proceeds will go to the Glioblastoma Foundation to help research and support for other families fighting the fight against Glioblastoma. This event is a run/walk. This event is non-chipped and no official times will be recorded... however, there WILL be a race clock at the finish line. Our main goal is to raise as much money as possible for the Glioblastoma Foundation.

SHIRTS: If you would like to order a shirt to wear on race day to support the memory of Jodie, you can order from https://jodie-schmahl-olson-memorial.myspreadshop.com/ Profits from shirt sales go to the Glioblastoma Foundation.

All registered participants will receive a Jodie-Schmahl Olson Memorial 5k water bottle and sticker, and a free drink ticket for Castle Danger Brewery.
