On September 26, 2015 the 4th Annual “Nick Symmonds Springfield 800” Race was held in
Springfield. This race is the world’s only sanctioned 800 meter road race and is named for 5-time 800 meter U.S. Champion, 2-time Olympian and Springfield resident Nick Symmonds. This fun and family-friendly road race provided opportunities for walkers and runners of all ages to
participate.
Nick Symmonds selected Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) as the agency to benefit from this year’s event. Proceeds from the race will be donated to Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) and Heather Murphy, Executive Director, will be in attendance to receive the
check in the amount of $1500.
