Rachel's Run

These races and walks raise funds for the Academy of Notre Dame Rachel Morrison Science Lab and the Rachel Morrison Scholarship Fund. This run was done each year around Thanksgiving by Rachel and her friends on her high school cross country course at the Academy of Notre Dame in Tyngsborough, MA. She and her friends brought cans of food and other non-perishable food items to the run to be distributed to a local food pantry. Now we run to remember Rachel. Rachel was a 4th year PhD student at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla CA until her tragic death from a hit and run drunk driver on the night of March 28, 2014 in the city of Del Mar, CA.

Regardless of your ability come run with us… You can choose from the walk or the community run (always a spirited and friendly affair) to see a description of the course and a course map.
