Linda Yalem Run set for Sept. 29 on North Campus

More than 1,600 runners, joggers, racewalk-ers and strollers are expected to participate in the seventh annual Linda Yalem Memorial Run on Sunday, Sept. 29, on the UB North Campus.

The 5-K, U.S.A. Track and Field-certified event, which will begin at 10 a.m. near Alumni Arena, is held in memory of Yalem, a UB student who was assaulted and murdered while running near campus, and to promote safety awareness programs on campus. Yalem was training for the New York City Marathon.

The run is part of The Buffalo News Runner of the Year Series.

Raffles, entertainment and refreshments will follow the race.
