John Wesley Holt Legacy Race

Pre-registration for the John Wesley Holt Legacy Run closes on Wednesday, February 19, at midnight. On-site registration will be available on race day beginning at 12 p.m., though fees will increase. Only participants registered by February 19 are guaranteed a commemorative t-shirt.

The event celebrates the life of John Wesley Holt with a 5K course and Fun Run open to runners and walkers, starting and finishing at St. Luke’s Episcopal School in Mobile, Alabama. Proceeds from the event support the John Wesley Holt Scholarship Fund, established in memory of John Wesley Holt, Class of 2021. John Wesley, tragically lost in a hit-and-run accident on February 18, 2023, was an Eagle Scout and sophomore electrical engineering major at the University of South Alabama. The scholarship honors his dedication to character, academics, and athletics, awarding a St. Luke’s senior who exemplifies these values. The annual run commemorates John Wesley’s impact on his community.
