Get ready to make a difference at this 5k and 10k event in Greenville honoring Jim Varin, a Providence firefighter who battled Glioblastoma for just 13 months before passing away in 2022 at age 52. Every dollar raised goes to The Rhode Island Brain & Spine Tumor Foundation to support patients through services, education, and research funding—exactly what Jim hoped to accomplish. Grab your bib on Sunday, May 17th starting at 7:45 AM at Deerfield Park (bring your QR code), and compete for awards in overall and age group categories, keeping in mind that dogs and strollers aren't allowed.
