ClayCo 'Til I Die 5K Walk/Run

Join us for the 2nd Annual Remembering a Warrior 5K, a run/walk held in loving memory of Ben Bodne. This special event brings together family, friends, and our community to celebrate Ben’s life while supporting an important cause.

Proceeds from the race will benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Houston, along with additional causes that honor Ben’s legacy and provide support to families facing cancer.

Together, we can remember Ben, celebrate his warrior spirit, and make a meaningful difference for families who need it most.

Register today and be part of this powerful day of remembrance and hope.
