Background: Formerly, referred to as the Shea’s Annual 5K Run and Walk, the race was renamed in 2018 to honor the recent passing of two beloved friends and colleagues of Shea’s Performing Arts Center and recent President and 3rd Vice President of the Shea’s Spotlight Committee, William “Bill” Crooker and Ramona “Mona” Arida. Among, the immeasurable dedication and commitment they had for Shea’s, Bill and Mona were key pillars in making Shea’s 5K one of the favorites of the local running community.
Presented by Shea’s Spotlight Committee, Shea’s Annual Bill Crooker Memorial 5K Race & Mona Arida Fun Walk is a USATF sanctioned and certified course.
