Charlie Holder Sr. Memorial Charity 10K & 5K

Following the incredible success of last year, we are thrilled to announce the 3rd year of The Charlie Holder Sr. Memorial Charity Race featuring the annual 5k run/fun walk and adding a 10K option. This run will begin at 7:30am on Saturday, May 9th. One step at a time we are working together to help support our community by raising money for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Community Center and the Newport County YMCA Summer Scholarship Fund. Last year the race raised $10,000 for each organization - this year our goal is $15,000!   Thanks for helping us remember a great guy who inspired many -  Charlie Holder Sr.   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   "I FOUGHT THE FIGHT, I FINISHED THE RACE, I KEPT THE FAITH."   This was the mantra of a Newport Legend, Charlie Holder Sr.   Charlie was born and raised in the Park Holm district of Newport. It was here that he made life long friends and first learned his love for sports.
