By Katie Shah, Board Member, Bronxville School Foundation
Nov. 17, 2022: A beloved Thanksgiving weekend tradition, the Katie Welling Memorial 2.5 Mile Run/Walk will take place in-person this year on Saturday, November 26th. This year we also honor Tom Welling, Katie’s father, who passed away in March. Tom led this event for the last 15 years and was an incredible friend and asset to the Bronxville community.

The route begins in front of the Bronxville School on Pondfield Road, winds through several Bronxville neighborhoods, and ends on the school track. Check-in will open at 8am and the race will start at 9am. If you are not able to attend, you may also participate virtually by running, walking or biking anytime between November 15th and November 30th.
A 2002 Bronxville High School graduate, Katie died in an off-campus fire at Miami University in Ohio. She had just turned 21. Katie’s Run was created by Katie’s friends and family and has been supported throughout the years by Village residents, Bronxville School students and faculty, and Village merchants.
All race proceeds will benefit the Bronxville School Foundation whose mission is to enhance the quality of the education at the Bronxville School where Katie spent so many happy years. Since its inception, Katie’s Run has raised more than $260,000.
