BRADFORD – More than 100 people ran in or donated money to the Chad Nolan Memorial 5K on Saturday in Bradford, making it the largest in the event’s five-year history.
The Chad Nolan Memorial 5K raises scholarship funds for Bradford student-athletes while remembering Chad Nolan, who died on Sept. 16, 1985, following complications from an injury suffered during a football game.
“It continues to grow each year,” former Bradford football coach Curtis Enis said. “To be a part of it, I’m very blessed to be a part of it.”
While Enis is no longer the Railroaders’ coach, he said he wanted to continue to help support student-athletes in his community and remember the live of Nolan.
“It really, really shows the pride in our community,” Enis said, adding, “We always want to remember all our students.”
