Jim Ferris, a Holley High School graduate, was one of Rochester’s premiere Master Runners. His death at an early age prompted supporters to start this race in his honor.
Over the last two years, the Murray-Holley June Fest Committee has re-energized the race. A new certified course was drawn up. Over 75 runners completed the race in 2011.
This year, organizers are hoping for more than 100 men and women. The race begins at 9 a.m. at the Holley Elementary School on Saturday, June 2. Applications are available on line at (www.townofmurray.org) or (www.villageofholley.org) or call 638-5432 to have an application mailed.
