The 2nd Annual
Don Linville Memorial 50k
Where Higher Education is the prey

Breckenridge High School
August 25th, 2007 @ 8:00 am

Race Director, Paul Hurla along with Uncle Irl’s invites you to come and join the Linville family in a 31.2 miles run to benefit the Don Linville Memorial Scholarship fund.
Donald Linville, who was stricken with polio at the age of five, was not a person who would accept limitations in his life. He battled through several surgeries, and much hospital time and fought against all odds to continue his education. He was a graduate of Breckenridge High School and continued his education at Central Missouri State University; where he received a Master’s Degree. He was a teacher and guidance counselor at King City High School when he passed away in 1971. His life was an analogy of a track athlete. He sprinted when he could, overcame the hurdles of life and continued with the endurance of a cross country runner.

The course - from the High School in Breckenridge – to the McDonalds parking lot in Chillicothe. Then back to the old well at the corner of the park in downtown Breckenridge.

You can help Uncle Irl's build the Don Linville Memorial Scholarship in 3 ways:
