About the event

Alex’s 5K and Kid's K Run is a very positive, fun and family friendly event. 100% of the race profits will go to our designated autism based charities.  To date, we have donated over $60,000 to local service providers such as Avondale House (Alex's school) and The Westview School, as well as national organizations dedicated to research and treatment of autism spectrum disorders such as Organization for Autism Research and Autism Speaks.

 

RACE PURPOSE: The Bayou City Road Runners (BCRR) present the Alex’s Memorial 5K Run/Walk & Kids 1K to honor the life of Alex Jamrich. Alex, the 17 year-old son of Milan Jamrich and Kathi Mahon, died unexpectedly one month short of his 18th birthday on May 15, 2010. Alex was autistic, and his death likely due to complications associated with autism. Alex was Kathi and Milan’s greatest joy, but his autism their greatest challenge. Friends agreed something should be done in honor of Alex’s life, as well as to promote autism awareness and raise money for research and services.

CHARITIES: The proceeds for the Sixth Annual Alex’s 5K Run/Walk & Kids 1K will go to non-profit autism based charities.  More information about this year's beneficiaries can be obtained through the race website:  www.alex5k.com.
