Welcome to the Courtney Schilling Memorial 5K
Hosted by the Forest Edge Elementary School PTA
On June 12, 2010, more than 200 runners and walkers gathered on a humid Northern Virginia morning for a 5K. The event, put together in just a few months by a group of dedicated volunteers, was a chance for those struggling with the sudden loss of their family member, their friend, and their colleague, to remember Courtney's life and celebrate her love of running.
Over the years, while some things have changed (we quickly learned April is a much better month than June for a race!), what has stayed the same is your remarkable support of this special day. We are constantly astounded by your generosity and by the dedication of those who show up year after year after year.
It is thus with a full heart we share that this year's (2019) race, the 10th Annual Courtney Schilling Memorial 5K, will be the last. We don't see this as an ending -- we will find a way to continue to memorialize Courtney's life and support the causes the race benefits. But this year we plan to go out on top and make this race the biggest and best one yet
