John Harrington passed away September 26, 2016 after a 15-year battle with prostate cancer. This run / walk is to honor his dedication to the community of Marshfield, and raise funds for the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation to continue research to end prostate cancer deaths.
The course being used for the event was created by John in the late 80’s to promote wellness in the Marshfield Community. This will be a celebration of that run, 25 years after the last Wellness Run, held in 1992. He wanted everyone to include physical activity in his or her daily routine. His question to himself every morning was “What will I do for my exercise today?”
