Jay Derbidge Memorial Run/Walk

The Jay Derbidge Memorial Run/Walk will be held on August 24th at Veterans Memorial Park in memory of Jay Derbidge, Husband, Father, Rotarian, and member of our community, who lost his battle with cancer. The event is a fundraiser for the Ely Cancer Fund and the Lazarex Cancer Foundation. The distance, 14 Laps around the park totaling 5.44K/ 3.4 Miles, representing the average distance people have to travel to get cancer treatment, but certainly not the distance people from White Pine County have to travel. Registration opens at 9 am with coffee and open sidewalk chalk art spaces available to participants to leave a message or kind word for all those touched by the battle with cancer. There will be a presentation at 9:30 am and the run/walk begins at 10 am.

Cost is $39/ adults and $19/kids, 4 and under/ FREE. Lunch will be provided at 11 am and all participants will get a commemorative T-shirt. Everyone is welcome to come out and celebrate Jay’s life and show their support for the Derbidge family and our community.
