Sprint For Our Schools has become a tradition in Ramsey. Bright and early, rain or shine, on the second Saturday in May, hundreds of people gather at the Municipal Pool ready to run as a community. You can feel the excitement: The DJ is playing music. The energy level is high. Our sponsors are in attendance. This year, runners can run our USATF-sanctioned race either on our traditional 5K course or 1 mile Family Fun Run route.

Marcus Kayal Legacy4Life brings you the 4th annual Miles4Marcus fundraising challenge.

Marcus Kayal was a Mahwah High School student and member of the Boys Soccer family who passed away in December of 2019. Marcus had a passion for the game of soccer and always pushed himself to play at the highest level. While he exceled in sport, Marcus was a young man who also put a tremendous amount of focus towards his academics and was highly respectful to all people that he interacted with. On the field, Marcus wore #4. The name of the event, and its purpose are designed to reflect the values that Marcus brought to the community and soccer program, on and off the field.

The format of the event is as follows:

1. Each participant who registers has the option to run or walk.

2. Each participant will have one hour to complete as many laps as possible.

3. Each mile completed by each participant will be recorded by event volunteers.

4. As a collective group, we are trying to run or walk as many miles in memory of Marcus as possible.

5. Based on the number of participants, our targeted goal will be announced before the event officially begins.

All proceeds raised will go directly to Marcus Kayal Legacy4Life which honors the life and legacy of Marcus Kayal by providing preventative cardiac screenings to students at Mahwah High School, in partnership with the MCore Foundation.
