In 2003, 11-year-old Edgemont student Taylor Matthews was diagnosed with bone cancer. Taylor wanted something good to come from her battle against cancer, so she created Tay-Bandz to raise public awareness about childhood cancer and fund pediatric cancer research. For many years our community has gathered to support Relay for Tay, an event honoring Taylor. As a tribute to Taylor and to extend the focus of the Relay event, we have created “Colors Against Cancer,” for which we are glad to have continued community support. In honor of Taylor's memory and to continue to proudly support the fight against cancer, on May 4, 2025 the "Colors Against Cancer" color run will be held.

Run the traditional Loucks Masters' Mile which is 4 laps around the White Plains High School track under the lights, held right after the Thursday night scholastic track races, professionally timed. The start time is to be determined and contingent upon the end of Thursday night's track events for the scholastic competitors, but it is estimated to begin around 7:30 p.m. We have one of the youngest Masters' Miles starting at 30 years old and up. Competition includes coaches and local clubs. It's a good time and a friendly way to compete against your local competition. Register early and save. Pre-registration is $20 and Day of Race Registration is $30. Awards are given to the top 3 male and female Masters' Mile finishers and medals are given to the top 3 male and female age group finishers, presented on the Loucks podium. An award will be given to the top winning team or club based on the top three finishers. It's a great event included as part of our 3 day Memorial Glenn D. Loucks High
