Kevin Rudi was 27 years old when he passed away November 12, 2014, from spindle cell sarcoma. His New Mexico State University fraternity brothers started a foundation to honor his memory and to raise money for sarcoma research. The Kevin Rudi Foundation decided on the superhero theme for its 5K Fun Run to honor Rudi’s memory. “He’s my superhero,” says Matthew Duran, President of the Rudi Foundation’s Board of Directors. “The guy didn’t give up. He never gave up. He fought till his last day.” Duran and Rudi were inseparable best friends in college and remained close until Rudi’s passing. Runners of all abilities and costumes are welcome at the Kevin Rudi Superhero 5K Fun Run. Runners may register the day of the event for $30. Superhero costumes are strongly encouraged.
