On Saturday, October 17, Wayne State University Law School’s Student Board of Governors (SBG) hosted the 41st Annual Ambulance Chase 5K, one of the law school’s longest-running student traditions. Despite a windy fall morning, 48 participants and 11 volunteers came out to run, walk, and cheer for a good cause.
Planning for this year’s race began in June, and the SBG 5K Committee chose to support a nationally recognized organization: the Innocence Project, which works to free wrongfully convicted people and reform the criminal legal system. SBG is projected to donate more than $5,000 to the organization.
Community member Carlos Guitron-Ortiz, who joined the race from outside the Wayne State community, took first place with a time of 19:07. Wayne Law students Patrick Diehl and Joseph Harrell rounded out the top three, finishing at 20:14 and 21:16.
The race also saw strong support from the legal community, with several sponsors taking on bundled packages this year. Thanks go out to Premier Sponsor JD Advising; Trophy & Award and Check-In Sponsor The Sam Bernstein Law Firm; Food & Beverage and Cheer Tent Sponsor Giarmarco Mullins & Horton; and all of our T-shirt and Advocate sponsors, including Maddin Hauser, Brooks Kushman, Detroit Bar Association, AccessLex Institute, Barbri, Themis Bar Review, and Kitab Cafe.
