3.1 Miles 5k Run Walk

The Run to Remember Memorial 5K is more than just a race - it's a movement of remembrance, awareness, and community healing. Together, we run to honor the lives lost, support survivors, and stand with families forever changed by the devastating impact of drunk and distracted driving.

Set against a backdrop of unity and hope, the event brings runner, walkers, families, and community members together for a morning filled with purpose. Every stride is a statement we will not forget, and we will continue to fight for safer roads and stronger communities.

Participants will experience:

  • A scenic 5K course designed for both competitive runners and casual walkers.

  • Memorial 5K markers dedicated to victims, reminding us of the true meaning behind each step.

  • Community spirit with the local sponsors, volunteers, and families rallying in support of the cause.

  • A powerful remembrance ceremony celebrating lives, sharing stories, and renewing our commitment to prevention.

Proceeds from the Run to Remember will go to MADD (Mother's Against Drunk Driving) to directly support awareness campaigns, victim support programs, and community initiatives focused on ending drunk and distracted driving

Join us in running with purpose, remembering with love, and moving forward together.

Awards for top three overall, chip timed by Personal Best Racing (www.personalbestracing.com)
