Run For Briggs
2025 is the 5th year for the Run for Briggs 5k run and a 1-mile Kid’s Fun Run, which is part of the Suffolk County Veterans Run Series . Our run will kick off the series on Memorial Day weekend on Saturday May 24th, 2025.
All proceeds from this event will go to the Dashan J. Briggs Memorial Foundation that awards Scholarships to students in Riverhead and Comsewogue High School.
Dashan left two children behind; nine-year-old, Jayden and eight-year-old, Ava. Since the age of four Dashan’s son, Jayden has completed seven 5k’s including last years Run for Briggs and completed it in less than 30 minutes! Dashan’s daughter, Ava has completed three 1 mile runs and five 5k’s since the age of 3.
To help keep Jayden and Ava’s memory of their father alive, we ask all to come out and participate in our Annual Memorial Day Run, Run for Briggs on May 24th 2025!
