Nov. 1, 2023: The Katie Welling Memorial Run/Walk is a wonderful community event that honors Katie Welling, a 2002 BHS graduate who died in an off-campus fire at Miami University in Ohio.

We also remember Tom Welling, Katie's father who passed away in 2022. Tom led us in planning this special event for fifteen years and was an incredible friend and asset to the Bronxville community.
Katie's Run/Walk is a 2.5-mile race. The event will be in person on Saturday, November 25. Participants will meet in front of the Bronxville School. Check-in will open at 8 AM, and the race will start at 9 AM.
If you are not able to attend, you may also participate virtually by running, walking or biking any time from November 15 through 30. Walking or running on a treadmill or riding on a stationary bike at home are also great ways to participate.
