    Run2Believe5K Run/Walk Maize, KS Distance: 5k Run2Believe is a 5K run/walk that was created to honor the memory of Kyle Thornburg (class of 07) and Kylie Jobe (class of 09) both graduates of Maize High School. Kyle and Kylie, togther became innocent victims of a drunk driver as they returned home from a ski trip over spring break in 2011.  In a tragic accident on I-70, a man entered the interstate going the wrong direction with a blood alcohol level of .23, almost three times the legal limit.  All three were killed. While this Run remembers Kyle and Kyie, the main priority of the families is to remind everyone about the dangers of drinking and driving.   Proceeds from the run benefit the Maize Education Foundation, which gives two scholarships to two Maize students in Kyle's name, the Oklahoma State University Foundation which gives a scholarship in Kylie's name, and local schools, especially USD 266 to help raise awareness against drinking and driving.   Files: Race Flyer: Page 1 (PDF)
