9th Annual Run 4 Meddie 5K
New Finish Line, Same Heart!
New Location. New Energy. Same Mission.
Are you ready to go hard for the next generation? The Nickerson Family Legacy Foundation is back for our 9th Annual Run 4 Meddie 5K on Saturday, May 23, and this year, we’re bringing the movement home!
We are officially moving the run to University Park—the very heart of the community where our incredible scholarship recipients live, dream, and thrive. This isn’t just a race; it’s a celebration of the community we serve.
Event Highlights
- DJ onsite to provide music and entertainment throughout the event.
- Local Food Truck serving up delicious food all morning
- Fresh Scenery: Experience our brand-new route through University Park!
- Family-Friendly: Whether you’re a sprinter, a power-walker, or just here for the vibes, bring the whole crew.
- Kickoff to Summer: Start the season with fresh air, high energy, and a massive impact.
Let’s go even harder in 2026. Grab your sneakers, invite your friends, and let’s go hard for the students of University Park.
Run 4 Meddie is more than a race, it’s a community effort to support students pursuing higher education.
Through scholarships and direct support, Nickerson Family Legacy Foundation helps students overcome real financial barriers, from transportation and textbooks to tuition and housing costs.
This year, we want to raise $75,000 to expand access to opportunity.

This event is held in memory of Ahmed “Meddie” Nickerson, NFLF President, Amon J. Nickerson's beloved brother, who passed away due to heart complications.
Participants are encouraged to embrace healthy habits in his honor.
All donations and proceeds received from registration and run merch benefit the Nickerson Family Legacy Foundation Scholarship Fund.
What Is Meddie?
/medē/ noun: your reason why you desire to go hard for a particular cause, movement or person.
What's your Meddie? What motivates you to do the things you do? What is the desire inside of you that won't allow you to quit?
We invite you to share your Meddie with us and each other to keep each other focused and motivated to never quit and always strive to be great.
Our Community
Our Run 4 Meddie family is a vibrant community of individuals, families, youth, and leaders united by a shared commitment to health and wellness. Together, we support each other in adopting healthy habits, all while honoring our mission to keep working hard for Meddie.
