St. Edward's SJ 5K

Saturday, June 3, 2017!!!!!

The SJ 5K is in memory of Sr. Jackie Walsh, RSM, a spirited and loving member of the Syosset-Woodbury and Hicksville communities. Sr. Jackie was tragically killed by a hit and run driver on July 9, 2012. It is in memory of Sr. Jackie’s compassionate, humble, and vibrant nature that we invite you to honor her legacy by participating in the 2nd Annual Festival 5K to benefit the Sr. Jackie Memorial Fund.

Proceeds from the SJ 5K support the Sr. Jackie Memorial Fund, which provides educational scholarships to students of St. Edward the Confessor Parish and School who will be attending a Catholic high school. Additionally, the fund provides support for both St. Edward’s Parish ministries and St. Edward the Confessor School, in keeping with Sr. Jackie’s dedication to faithful service to the community.

In it's inaugural race in 2014, the SJ 5K (originally known as the Festival 5K) boasted over 500 registrants! We are striving for 800 registrants for the 4th Annual Festival 5K in 2017!
