Description

Fred Torres was a mainstay in the running community. A runner himself, Fred donated countless hours to mentoring
young athletes, supporting running events throughout the area, and officiating high school athletics. On January 20, 2014
Fred suffered a heart attack while jogging with fellow colleagues at an annual seminar for race-timers. A scholarship was
created in his name to continue his passion for supporting our young athletes and the running community. The Fred
Torres Memorial Scholarship is presented each year to outstanding graduating student-athletes of the Clifton High School
(NJ) Cross County and Track & Field Teams. 100% of the race proceeds will go to the Fred Torres Memorial Fund and
the Fred Torres Memorial Scholarships.
