17th Annual Renie Amoss Memorial Race

October 11, 2009 |

The 16th Annual Renie Amoss Memorial Race will be held at Goucher College on Sunday, October 11, at 9 a.m. in conjunction with Family Weekend.

Sponsored by the Goucher Athletic Department, the race is a tribute to Corene “Renie” Amoss ’93, a three-sport athlete and honors student who majored in economics and management before she died in an automobile accident in 1993.

Please go to http://www.goucher.edu/x6883.xml to register for the 5K race or the 1.5-mile walk. Pre-registration is $10 for students and kids, and $15 for adults. On race day, registration is $15 for students and kids and $20 for adults. Payments must be made in cash or by check. The first 200 participants will receive a race logo shirt. 

The proceeds from the memorial run go toward the Renie Amoss Fund, which grants two monetary awards each school year to Goucher College students who have established an exceptional academic record while participating in more than one aspect of co-curricular student life on campus. Race proceeds, fundraising events, and generous donations have brought the trust fund total to more than $100,000. Investment returns have been used to fund annual awards to 19 Goucher students, including this year’s awardees, Aunaleah Husted, Debra Lenik, Franklin Russell, and Katherine Young.
