Doug Williams Memorial Run

Join us at Fleet Feet Montclair on Sunday, May 21 or complete the event virtually!

The Essex Running Club and Fleet Feet Montclair invite you to join us for this very special event in memory of Doug Williams. Doug was a former Montclair resident and beloved member of the Essex Running Club who was killed by a hit and run driver on Upper Mountain Avenue in October 2011. Doug would have turned 61 years old on May 22 this year.

All of the proceeds from the event will go towards the memorial scholarships awarded every year in Doug’s honor to recognize two deserving college bound seniors at Montclair High School who have been outstanding in track and cross country while demonstrating academic excellence, leadership and community service. This will be the 12th year we have awarded this scholarship!

Join us for an in person fun run at Fleet Feet Montclair on Sun, May 21 at 7:30 am or complete the event virtually any time between Fri, May 19 and Sun, May 21. There's a 5K, 10K or 8 Mile Run and you can pick your own route or run one of the suggested routes. The cost is only $10 per person or you can make a donation to support the scholarship if you are unable to run. All participants will be entered in a raffle for a $50 gift card to Fleet Feet Montclair.

After you complete your run, submit your finishing time to the Results page on Runsignup and post your photos to the Facebook page for the event.
