Race History
The first Nick Clare Memorial Run was held in 2002 as a way to give tribute to the life of Nick Clare who died in a car accident in 2001 and help kids live a better quality of life. Because it was so successful in benefiting the Hastings Community and the Hastings High School athletic programs, the run has continued. Contributions from the run go to the Nick Clare Foundation, Y Partners Program and the Hastings Senior High School. Contributions have helped students who are in need, participate in sports and receive scholarship money.
