ERC Scholarship Run/Walk In Memory Of Doug Williams
About this race
Join us for the 15th anniversary of this special event in memory of Doug Williams who was a graduate of Montclair High School and a beloved member of the Essex Running Club when he was killed by a hit and run driver on Upper Mountain Ave in October 2011. Doug would have been 64 years old on May 22 2026.
All of the proceeds from the event will go towards the memorial scholarships awarded every year in Doug’s honor to recognize two deserving college bound seniors at Montclair High School who have been outstanding in track and field / cross country while demonstrating academic excellence, leadership and community service.
Enjoy an easy run / walk at one of three distances (5K, 10K, 8 miles). Everyone is welcome - runners/walkers, young/old, fast/slow. This is just a fun run, not a timed event, and the roads will be open to traffic. The 8 mile route is a special memorial route passing by several landmarks in remembrance of Doug.
Registration is only $10 per person or you can make a donation to support the scholarship if you are unable to run. Everyone who registers or makes a donation will be entered in a raffle for a $50 Fleet Feet gift card. There will be some light refreshments back at Fleet Feet after the run.
