Runners and walkers took their mark for the annual Pascal’s Way 5k Run/Walk on the Old Highway near Treasure Village Montessori in Islamorada on May 10. Bob Arnold, 63, was the overall winner with a time of 21 minutes and 26 seconds. This 5K run/walk honors the life of Pascal Weisberger who passed away 5 years ago, and this year is supporting the Pascal’s Way Scholarship for community service-oriented seniors from the Class of 2025 at Coral Shores High School. Any additional funds will go to support the science programs of Treasure Village Montessori in Islamorada and Ocean Studies Charter School in Key Largo. Over the course of his nine years living in the Upper Keys, Pascal attended both of these schools and they each added greatly to his life and him becoming the special young man that he was known to be in his community. People can still run or walk a 5k virtually through May 31 to honor the life of Pascal.
