Thank You to This Year’s Participants, Sponsors and Volunteers
in the 2024 Bishop’s 5K Run/Walk at Saint Mark’s High School
More than 250 participants took to the road Nov. 23 for the annual Bishop’s 5K Run/Walk at Saint Mark’s High School on a brilliant, chilly morning in Pike Creek.
The event raised more than $20,000 for Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Wilmington. Bishop Koenig and Bishop Emeritus Malooly were on-hand to support participants.
Abner Murillo, 17, was the winner. His sister, Natalie Murillo, was the fastest female finisher. Abner broke the tape at 18:02 and Natalie crossed the line at 21:54. They are both students at Saint Mark’s.
Schools winning the team spirit competition for most registered participants: Saint Mark’s High School was first with 68 participants and won $1,000 for the school; St. Edmond’s Academy, 40, won $500, and Christ the Teacher Catholic School won $250 with 22 participants.
