The Singleton Family, in partnership with the Meadowbrook Volleyball Team, is proud to host a 5K Run & Walk, 10K, and 15K in memory of our late sister, Captain Kiristi Jean Singleton.

This event is more than just a race; it is a celebration of Kiristi’s life, leadership, and lasting impact on our family and community. As a captain, she led with strength, determination, and heart. She inspired those around her and her spirit continues to motivate us every day.

We are calling this event “Run to Remember” because it is an opportunity for all of us to pause, reflect, and honor the loved ones who have gone before us, no matter the circumstance. Whether you run, walk, or simply come to support, we hope this day serves as a reminder that the lives and legacies of those we love to continue to shape us. Together, we run not only for competition but for remembrance.

All monetary donations and proceeds will support female athletics in the Rolling Hills Local School District.
