    Join us for Isaac's Run; a 3 mile road race to honor the life of Isaac Phillips; a young man whose 15 years were filled with heart, humor, and a legacy that reaches far beyond the time he was given and continues to inspire us every day.

    Runners and walkers are welcome. Share in smiles and memories and wear your purple as it was Isaac's favorite color - a color that now reminds us of his joy, resilience, and light.

    All proceeds will be given to the Isaac Phillips Medical Memorial Scholarship, a fund to financially assist Mascenic graduate nominees going into the medical field.
