WALLA WALLA, Wash. - Led by the Whitman College cross country and distance track teams, the Blues will participate in the annual "Who Do You Run For?" 24-hour run set to take place at Ankeny Field on Friday, May 2 at 12:00 p.m.

For a 24-hour period which ends on Saturday, May 3 at noon, alternating members of team will run around Ankeny Field at Whitman College and invite any or all members of the Whitman College and Walla Walla community to jump in and run as many (or as little) laps in support of The Star Project.

The STAR (Successful Transition and Reentry) Project is the only reentry organization serving Southeast Washington. Originally formed to serve those released from prison to Walla Walla County, today STAR provides a "wrap-around" services approach as we work with community partners across the state of Washington to meet the complex needs of justice-involved individuals and their families.

The STAR Project meets formerly incarcerated people where they are — creating a comprehensive support plan that centers the individual. STAR staff provide intensive case management services for participants as they transition from incarceration to community release, offering mental health support, housing assistance, job placement resources, mentorship programs, recovery support, and family reunification activities.
