Jenna Strong 5k – Run with Your Legs Win With Your Heart
June 23, 2019
This was the 4th Annual Jenna Strong 5k in Miamisburg in honor of former Miamisburg High School XC runner Jenna Parlette. Jenna was a runner at Wilmington College when she passed away in 2015. Many of her former Miamisburg and Wilmington teammates came together at this race to celebrate and remember their friend Jenna.
The race started at 8:15 am in downtown Miamisburg at the Riverfront Park, and ran along the bike path beside the river. 
I did not know Jenna, but I am proud to run strong today in her honor. It was not a PR, but I finished 1st in my age group with a time of 24 minutes flat.
As an age group winner, I received a medal and $15 gift card to Runners Plus.
My 5 Rivers Teammate, Stephanie, was the first Overall Female at today’s race, in honor of her friend and high school teammate Jenna.
