We run in Memory of Robert “Bob” Smith. He passed away from health issues on May 10th, 2019. Bob was a huge inspiration to everyone he met. He was very active in the local running community. At the age of 77, he participated in countless races. The man always had a smile on his face and words of encouragement to any and everyone. He never met a stranger. He simply made the world a better place. In loving memory of him, we hold this event the first Sunday in March each year.
