The deadline to register online for the Teri Mathis Zenner Memorial Run is May 5.

The four-mile run is scheduled for May 7 at Heritage Park in Olathe. Registration is $20 before May 1 at http://www.terizenner.com, $25 from May 2 to 6, and $30 the day of the event, said Robert Thompson, ophthalmologist at the Thompson Eye Clinic in Shawnee. The eye clinic is one of several sponsors for the event. Others include the Johnson County Mental Health Department and Johnson County Parks and Recreation.

Thompson said 270 people had signed up. The money will go toward the Teri Zenner Memorial Scholarship Fund at the University. The goal is to reach $30,000, Thompson said.

Zenner, a KU graduate student, was murdered in August during a routine visit to a client of Johnson County Mental Health.

“This event is to honor Teri’s memory,” Thompson said. “She devoted her life to help others and through this scholarship, we will continue to help others and do the kind of work she would have done in the community.”

Everyone in attendance will receive a Teri Tough wristband. The first 500 participants will receive a T-shirt.

Participants are scheduled to start running or walking at 7:30 a.m. The event will last until about 9:15 a.m., Thompson said.
