Welcome to the 9th Annual Labor Day Memorial 5K Run & Walk!
This event was established to honor two of West Warwick's finest track and cross-country athletes. Proceeds from the event will benefit scholarship funds established in their memory. Read below for the heart-warming stories of Tom Medeiros and Sgt. Brian St. Germain.
Tom MedeirosTommy Medeiros, the youngest of eight children, emigrated to the United States in 1967 from St. Michael, Azores, Portugal. At an early age his family realized that he wasn't interested in baseball, basketball, or even soccer. It became clear that Tommy had a passion for running and the God-given ability to run like the wind! He combined that gift and the strong work ethic instilled by his family to become one of the greatest runners in West Warwick High School history.

In the eighth grade Brian ran his first cross-country meet for Deering Middle School. Although he finished at the back of the pack, the seed was planted for an award-winning track career.
