Tracy Vsetecka Memorial Walk

Tracy Vsetecka was a principal in the Widefield School District for over 13 years. Her unexpected passing in 2019, affected many throughout the community. Her family has joined with Widefield Parks and Recreation and Woodland Wanderers to extend her celebration of life and enjoyment of exercise to the community with a noncompetitive walking event in her honor.
New this year, we have added a community bike ride, presented by the Security Lions Club.
Join us for a free walk or community bike ride and an opportunity to donate to the Tracy Vsetecka Scholarship Fund to continue her legacy.
