Ashenfelter 8K & Fleming 1 mILE

FAMILY SPONSORSHIP

In 1952 local hero Horace Ashenfelter won the Gold Medal in the Steeplechase at the Helsinki Olympics beating out the favored Russian contestant during a period the growing Cold War.  It is in his honor that we annually run the  Ashenfelter 8K and Fleming 1 Mile.   It  is the place to be for thousands of runners, families, and enthusiastic spectators on Thanksgiving morning and this year will be even more exciting as we honor the race’s namesake.   He continues to be an inspiration for so many both in the running world and far beyond.

Proceeds from the race support the Glen Ridge Educational Foundation which identifies and funds innovative teaching and learning programs that the borough's school budget normally does not address.  Since 1993 the Foundation has awarded hundreds of grants to fund projects that benefit every student in the district.
