JOGGING FOR JESS

Our amazing team are exclusively volunteers. It began with a running club, affectionately called the Sole Sisters. Jessica Colter was and always will be a Sole Sister.  When we tragically lost Jessica we knew we had to keep her memory alive and honor her life. That is how Jogging For Jess - The Jessica Colter Memorial Scholarship 5k Race started. We are a volunteer group managed by The Jessica Colter Memorial Scholarship Fund and it's Board of Directors,  working to give back to others in honor of our beloved Sole Sister Jessica. 

Jessica Colter was a beautiful, loving, kind and giving young woman. She was on the Dean's List in Nursing School at ETSU and had a bright and promising future. On December 6, 2020 we tragically lost Jessica in a automobile accident. We know even though Jessica is no longer here with us she can continue to make a long-lasting difference. Jogging for Jess - The Jessica Colter Memorial Scholarship 5k Race was started in 2021 as a way to maintain longevity of the scholarship and to award it to a nursing student for years to come.
