The 15th annual Memory of the 8 is a community event held to remember and honor the 8 University of Wyoming Cross Country runners who lost their lives in an accident caused by a drunk driver 24 years ago and to remind the community of the dangers of impaired driving.
The event includes a 5K Walk/Run, an 8-Mile run, and a Kids Run, beginning and ending at M&K Oil, 901 S. 4-J Rd. in Gillette. Registration is free and can be done online at: runsignup.com/Race/WY/Gillette/Memoryofthe8Gillette or on-sight beginning at 4:00 the day of the event.
A barbecue and social time will be held after the run. Donations are accepted and shirts and hats will be available for purchase.
