5K RACE START TIME 6:30PM
Please join us on Friday May 10, 2024 for the 30th Annual Nancy Price Memorial 5K Run. Price was the recreation director who actually put the recreation program on the map. She had Veteran's Park in Youngstown built up to what it is today from just a field. She did this by grit and determination. She was a fixture at the park and became friend/parent to all the children who came by the park.
Price passed away from cancer far too soon. Today, this race seeks to carry on her hopes and dreams for the youth of the community. Proceeds from the event go toward the Annual Nancy & Vicki Price Memorial Scholarships, which are given out to graduates from the area who possess the values she held and who are active in the community.
